Antifouling Organometallic Structural Plastics.
Abstract
Various organometallic plastics such as polymethacrylates, polystyrenes, and polyesters were prepared by chemically incorporating biocidal organometallic compounds on polymeric backbones. Organometallic plastics will be used as coatings and structural plastics where antifouling protection is needed. The antifouling performance of these formulations was evaluated at NAVSHIPYD PEARL, Miami Beach, Florida, and this laboratory. Organometallic polymethacrylates and polyvinyls, previously synthesized, have exhibited 100% antifouling performance against a variety of marine organisms after 15 months of exposure at NAVSHIPYD PEARL.
