High-strength Zwitterionic Materials for Marine Coatings
Abstract
Previous 6.1 work in the PI s laboratory suggest the following studies: (a) initiate the efforts to work on phase-separated materials; (b)continue the efforts to work on dipole-dipole and hydrogen-bonding reinforced materials; and (c) perform a fundamental understandingof the relationship between nonfouling and mechanical properties using these two classes of materials as model systems. Thesezwitterionic materials and coatings will be characterized by various mechanical tests such as tensile, compressive and anti-fatigue tests.Also, nonfouling and stability tests will be conducted. If time allows, these materials will be tested as marine coatings for long-termapplications. The ultimate goal is to design and develop high-strength nonfouling materials based on molecular principles learned for abroad range of applications, particularly marine coatings.
