Antifouling Coatings for Offshore Structures
CORROSION 2005, 2005Abstract Antifoulings have conventionally been used on mobile marine vessels to reduce build up of hull roughness due to the settlement of various types of biofouling, the consequence of which can be significant increase in fuel bills and reduction in speed. This is obviously not the case on static offshore structures such

Coating polyvinylchloride surface for improved antifouling property
Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 2019Antifouling surfaces are specifically crucial to cardiovascular applications. In this study, a polyvinylchloride (PVC) surface was modified by coating a biocompatible and hydrophilic polymer by a mild coating technique. The PVC surface was first activated and then functionalized, followed by coating with the polymer.

The testing and evaluation of non‐toxic antifouling coatings
Biofouling, 1996Field testing of non-toxic antifouling coatings has required the development of test protocols that can quantify their performance. This includes the evaluation of the biofouling communities, the measurement of biofouling adhesion using a calibrated water jet and the measurement of barnacle adhesion in shear.

Development of Marine Antifouling Coatings
2014Antifouling coatings for underwater hulls are a very important topic in coating research. Effective hull coatings determine the performance factors including speed, fuel consumption, and weight of a vessel. Controlling fouling using an antifouling paint containing biocides is the most common way of keeping hulls as efficient as possible; however ...

Patterning and Biofunctionalization of Antifouling Hyperbranched Polyglycerol Coatings
Biomacromolecules, 2014We demonstrate the patterned biofunctionalization of antifouling hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) coatings on silicon and glass substrates. The ultralow fouling HPG coatings afforded straightforward chemical handles for rapid bioconjugation of amine containing biomolecular species.

Antifouling coatings for electrochemical sensors
Доклады Российской академии наук. Химия, науки о материалахElectrochemical sensors are extremely promising for the analysis of a number of organic and inorganic compounds both in biological fluids and natural waters during environmental monitoring due to easing operation, ease of miniaturization, low cost, low limits of analyte determination and the possibility of modifying electrodes with a wide range of ...

Modern Approaches to the Development of Marine Antifouling Coatings
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research, 2019At present, 75–80% of the current operating costs of conventional transport are expended for fuel. According to the International Maritime Organization the world fleet burns 300 million tons of fuel annually, releasing into the atmosphere 960 million tons of СО2and 9 million tons of SO2.

Bioactive materials for antifouling coatings
Progress in Organic Coatings, 1992Abstract Marine fouling is the result of the settling and subsequent growth of marine organisms on surfaces immersed in seawater. The most successful principle in use today for the protection of ship's hulls against this unwanted growth is the release of bioactive materials from antifouling coatings.

Antifouling Coatings in Submarine Structures
2011It's well known that metals are used in underwater structures (i.e. the hulls of ships or different types of boats, offshore marine platforms, the probes of tools for the detection of oceanographic data) are subject to quick deterioration due both to chemical reaction of the inorganic salts contained in sea water and to biochemical action caused by ...
