Abstract

The aims of this study are to stop biofouling formation and to create antibacterial layers on aquaculture nets using a chemical product known for its antibacterial behavior. Polyamide 6.6 and high-density polyethylene nets were grafted with polyethylene glycol by following two methods. At first, grafted nets were evaluated with SEM and XPS in order to study the morphological and chemical information. Then, the antibacterial activity was studied at laboratory scale by measuring the rate of adhesion, on nets, of three bacterial strains (Pseudoalteromonas citrea, Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii, and Vibrio harveyi). Results highlighted that the surface of the ungrafted nets was the most colonized by bacteria, with a progressive increase in bacterial adhesion over the time. For PA 6.6 and HDPE nets, the best antibacterial behavior was noted on nets grafted with PEG after surface activation at 45 °C.
