| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we prepared the honeycomb-structured and pillared-structured surfaces, and then we investigated antifouling properties of these surfaces against. In the results, honeycomb-structured surfaces reduced the barnacles settlements compared to flat and pillared surfaces. To investigate the antifouling mechanism of honeycomb-structured surfaces, we analyzed cypris exploring behavior on microstructured surfaces with image analyzing software. From the results of exploring behaviors, few exploring behaviors were found on the honeycomb surface. The result indicates that barnacle cypris larva hard to explore on the honeycomb and consequently the honeycomb shows antifouling activities.
