Evaluation of an Antifouling Surface Inspired by Malaysian Sharks Negaprion Brevirostris and Carcharhinus Leucas Riblets

Our research aims to study the properties of real shark skin in accordance with its topographical features and the biomimicry for friction reduction. In this paper, we are focusing on antifouling surface modification based on the surface roughness and frictional resistance inspired from the shark’s...
