In the human environment, Sharklet™ has proven to be effective at inhibiting bacterial biofilm formation for up to 21 days, an astronomical improvement in performance over existing smooth biomaterial surfaces. In the marine environment, the results showed an astonishing 85% reduction in algal spore settlement and 97% reduction in barnacle cyprid settlement on Sharklet™ surfaces compared to smooth control surfaces.
