Welcome to our Bioadhesion and Biofouling Research Web site. 

The overall aims of our research are to understand the settlement and adhesion  processes of algae and to apply this fundamental information in the evaluation of the properties of anti-fouling and fouling-release materials developed by our collaborators in international programmes funded by the EC and the US Office of Naval Research (ONR)

PUBLICATIONS: PDF copies of most of our papers are available here.

The AMBIO web-site contains a short video illustrating one output from the AMBIO project. It was made for non-specialist audiences to illustrate how nanotechnology can aid the development of an environmentally-friendly coating technology.
