eco-friendly Ship Hull film system with fouling Release and fuel saving properties (eSHaRk)
Start date: Dec 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2018,
The aim of the eSHaRk project is to finalise the development of an innovative new fouling protection system for commercial vessels, and to accelerate its market entry.Fouling, defined as the settlement and growth of marine plants and animals on submerged structures, is a constant challenge for the shipping industry. Fouling results in higher hydrodynamic drag of vessels, which in turn translates i ...

Life Cycle of Nanoparticle-based Products used in House Coating (NANOHOUSE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
NanoHOUSE intends to create a holistic and prospective view on the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) impacts of nanoproducts used in house building, namely paints and coatings. The latter are using relatively high amounts of Engineered NanoParticles (ENPs) such as nano-Ag and nano-TiO2 which will be investigated. A new Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) approach will be developed gathering two compleme ...

"Development of an innovative, completely automated antifouling test system for professional examinations of marine coatings" (IATS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
"Scientists try to develop coatings that prevent of fouling. Development of new coating formulation takes 5 years, beginning from R&D study to the date of launching. Taking into account the marine market development and the change of low requirements connected to the environmental issues this time is too long. Formulation time distances depend mainly on testing. In Europe the only method is testin ...
