Development of Low Fouling/High Fouling-release and Self-polishing Nonfouling Marine Coatings

Abstract

This grant from ONR to NatureCoat LLC is to develop, scale up/formulate and study 1) low fouling/high fouling-release marine coatings and 2) self-polishing nonfouling marine coatings. The success of this work will facilitate the efforts to develop next-generation marine coatings exceeding the performance of existing commercial coatings. It serves to meet the long-term goal of the ONR coatings program for the development of environmentally benign, effective and long-lasting marine coatings.
