In this work, an antifouling coating based on alginate biopolymer was developed using the electrophoretic deposition method. Zinc cations have been incorporated into the material to obtain some anti-algae / bacteria properties and calcium cations have been included to contribute to its jellification. The coatings produces were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX and XPS techniques: the microscopic coatings fully and uniformly covered the steel samples. Results of the biological assays have demonstrated the impact of the coating on marine bacteria and microalgae; the values are comparable to those obtained in bioassays using copper-based alginate coatings. The antifouling effect of the coatings was equivalent to the potency of a high-volume hydrogel effect. These low-cost biocompatible coatings can be attractive in a wide variety of marine applications.
