Abstract: Surface of artificial facilities such as ships, oil production platforms and aquaculture cages are easily absorbed by abundant marine fouling organisms which accelerate surface corrosion and equipment aging,seriously endangering the stability and safety of marine facilities. Antifouling performance of coatings should fulfil lots of requirements including long-term stability, high effectiveness, and eco-friendliness for the sake of being applied on a large scale in practice. Organic tin based antifouling paints showing long-term and stable inhibition effect to various of marine fouling organisms developed rapidly in the middle of 20th century, but they had been banned for the damage to the marine ecological environment. Biomimetic antifouling coatings have become a significant research direction due to their excellent antifouling and environmental-friendly perfor-mance. In this review, antifouling characteristics, antifouling mechanism and efficacy of different strategies are briefly introduced, and the research progress and development trend of biomimetic antifouling strategies are summarized.
