Considerations for testing anti-fouling coatings designed for implementation into Earth-based and spacecraft water systems

Biofouling, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 19

Published: March 26, 2025

Biofilms are common in water systems and can lead to mechanical failure or illness of system users. Methods for evaluating anti-fouling coatings have largely been informed by the medical industry not tailored industrial spacecraft systems. The goal paper is help guide researchers designing experiments evaluate that accurately represent under investigation. This review identified eight experimental design considerations when systems: biofilm reactor operation, microorganism selection, reinoculation, coating surface area, liquid medium, experiment duration, performance evaluation, use microgravity. impact each decision made within these presented. Further, methods featured studies investigating Earth-based discussed. serves toward improved enable successful technology transfer from lab bench Earth beyond.
