Biofouling and biocorrosion are serious and significant problems for many industrial and consumer products and processes alike often resulting in expensive, laborious, and time-consuming remediation and can result in necessary equipment repair/replacement. Included herein is a potential means by which such remediation and the cost thereof could be reduced or eliminated by introducing a UV curable monomer into a commercial coatings formulation with little to no deleterious effects to the formulation's designed performance or the environment. Corroborating experimental and "real world" evidence is provided within the paper and presentation.
