Chitosan Nanocomposite Coatings Containing Chemically Resistant ZnO–SnO<sub>x</sub> Core–Shell Nanoparticles for Photocatalytic Antifouling

Functional nanocomposites with biopolymers and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles is an emerging application of photocatalysis in antifouling coatings. The reduced chemical stability of ZnO in the acidic media in which chitosan is soluble affects the performance of chitosan nanocomposites in antifouling...
