Abstract The problem of fouling of hydraulic structures, marine structures, ships and vessels has been acute since the beginning of the era of navigation. The formation of a biofilm of fouling reduces the speed of the vessel, worsens its controllability, increases fuel consumption, shortens the service life of hydraulic structures and increases the load on them. Many methods have been proposed to control fouling. One of the most promising coatings is considered to be based on the use of nanopart
