Nonpolluting Antifouling Organometallic Polymers.
Abstract
Over 40 organometallic polymers have been synthesized and evaluated for their antifouling performance. The response of isolated marine sliming bacteria to several organometallic polymers has been tested. In- situ exposure trials and laboratory studies have indicated that organometallic polymers are capable of good antifouling performance while releasing organometallic ions at a rate at least one order of magnitude less than state-of-the-art antifouling coating systems.
