Antifouling coatings stand out as one of the highly efficient ways to mitigate surface contamination. Traditional antifouling have a major drawback: they rely on toxic and environmentally hazardous compounds. These substances not only lead ecological harm but also disrupt natural equilibrium ecosystems. Consequently, in recent years, eco-friendly bio-coatings emerged. This review focuses mechanisms processes underlying contaminant adhesion, laying solid foundation for grasping principles coating design. It further elaborates general strategies developing bio-based solutions, highlighting their potential across wide array applications. Finally, this carefully analyzes current challenges confronted by puts forward future development directions. Through comprehensive overview, we aim expand influence technologies, promote application marine medical fields, provide examples establishment environmental protection policies.
