Antifouling and Anticorrosive Protection of Renewable Energy Marine Structures with TiO2-Based Enamel

Biofouling is a significant problem that affects renewable energy marine structures (REMS), such as wind turbines and those designed for wave or tidal energy exploitation. Marine organisms, including algae, barnacles, and mollusks, attach themselves to the surface of these structures, which can lead...
