CSP - 18TH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON MARINE CORROSION AND FOULING
Abstract
Since its inception in 1964, the International Congress on Marine Corrosion and Fouling (ICMCF) has become the foremost international scientific conference on fouling and corrosion of materials in the sea, bringing together scientists and technologists from academia, industry, defense and other government organizations to present and discuss recent scientific developments in understanding and combating the fouling and corrosion of materials, structures and the performance of vessels in the marine environment. The 18th ICMCF is being convened on behalf of the ComitŽ International Permanent pour la Recherche sur la PrŽservation des MatŽriaux en Milieu Marin (COIPM). The 18th ICMCF will have special significance as the first ICMCF was held in France in 1964. It should host more than 300 persons. The 18th ICMCF will take place in Toulon, France, the main port of the French navy, located in the Var, a department of the the Provence-Alpes-C™te d Azur region (including the French Riviera), in southeastern France. The area is known for its seaside resorts, the most famous of which is Saint-Tropez. The region is also visited for its Romanesque and medieval architecture, and for its wines, particularly the wines of Bandol. The proposed session topics include: 1. Marine corrosion: Materials and Coatings 2. Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion /Biocorrosion 3. Cathodic protection 4. Risk management in marine protection (AF/corrosion) 5. Regulation of AF and corrosion products and environmental issues 6. Biofilms and Microbial Fouling 7. Adhesion and biofilm formation mechanisms 8. Settlement mechanism of macrofoulers 9. Novel methods to evaluate antifouling efficacy 10. Industry session - Fouling/corrosion in marine energy applications and ships. - Fouling/corrosion in aquaculture, harbor infrastructures, Oil & Gas, desalination plant 11. Novel environmentally friendly antifoulants 12. Chemically-active antifouling technologies 13. Responsive surfaces and textured surfaces for antifouling 14. Advances in fouling release technologies 15. New approaches/ideas for antifouling Invited speakers have yet to be finalised but it is expected to comprise distinguished academics in the research field, from a variety of nationalities as well as leading industry figures (see past conference abstracts available on http://www.icmcf.org).
