Development of Low Fouling and High Fouling-release Zwitterionic Marine Coatings

Abstract

This grant from ONR to Zwitter Technology, LLC is to develop, scale up and formulate a low-fouling and high-fouling-release marine coating by integrating nonfouling zwitterionic materials and fouling-release silicone materials together. This work facilitates 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.
