Low Emission AntiFouling coatings based on the novel discovered post settlement penetration triggered antifouling (LEAF)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"Marine biofouling can be defined as the colonization of man-made surfaces in seawater by microscopic and macroscopic organisms. This phenomenon can result in great loss of function and effectiveness both for cruising ships and for static constructions. Of special concern is the negative effects of hard foulers such as barnacles, which cause [1]: (i) increased drag resistance resulting in up to 40 ...
