Baier

An important and expensive problem in surface science occurs in the prevention of the attachment of marine animals such as barnacles to ship surfaces, a process known as biofouling. Baier and Meyer [159] have shown that the Zisman plot can be used to predict biofouling, thus avoiding costly field tests to find a successful coating to prevent biofouling.

Acknowledgements. The authors thank the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (especially the SFB 347 Selective reactions of metal-activated molecules and the Graduiertenkolleg Electron density ) and the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie for generous financial support. D S wants to thank the students involved in phosphorus chemistry over the years (A Steiner, H Gornitzka, S Wingerter, M Pfeiffer, A Murso, T Stey, F Baier). Without their tremendous contributions, this chapter would have been impossible.
