Hydrolysable borate glasses form surface layers in aqueous environments that can resist barnacle adhesion by physical and/or chemical mechanisms. After 14 d re-attachment periods, the adhesion strength of barnacles attached to these glasses are comparable to silicone antifouling coatings. Furthermore, the glasses remain optically transparent from 400 to 1700 nm, presenting a promising class of materials for underwater optics.
