Surface Optimization of Siloxane-Polyurethane Marine Coatings for Improved Fouling-Release Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Biofouling has been an economically and environmentally costly problem to mankind ever since they set sail. Biofouling causes frictional drag leading to slow vessel speeds, and increased fuel costs. Antifouling (AF) coatings ...
Surface Property Modification of Coatings via Self-Stratification
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Biological fouling occurs everywhere in the marine environment and is a significant problem for marine vessels. Anti-fouling coatings have been used effectively to prevent fouling; however, these coatings harm non-targeted ...
