摘要:
A method, composition and structure to treat fouling. In one embodiment, the method of treating fouling includes providing a structure including a first component of a base material and a second component of an energetically activated nanostructure, and applying a stimuli to the structure that effectuates an increase or decrease in the temperature of the energetically activated nanostructure. The increase or decrease in the temperature of the energetically activated nanostructure modifies the chemical and/or mechanical properties of the base material. The modifications to the chemical and/or mechanical properties of the base material obstruct fouling of the structure.
