DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2018.09.024
Abstract: Fouling release coatings (FRCs) are today the main environment-friendly alternative to traditional self-polishing coatings, that continuously release biocides and/or heavy metals into water. FRCs are available on the market as environmentally friendly AF paints and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.porgcoat.2017.02.014
Abstract: Abstract Amphiphiles (i.e. amphiphilic molecules such as surfactants, block copolymers and similar compounds) are used in small amounts to modify the surface properties of polymeric materials. In silicone fouling-release coatings, PEG-based amphiphiles are added to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.porgcoat.2017.07.001
Abstract: Abstract The addition of block copolymers (i.e. oils) is a common technique to enhance the biofouling-resistance properties of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based fouling-release coatings. These copolymers diffuse from the bulk to the surface of the coating, thus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08927014.2022.2084389
Abstract: Abstract Grooming may be an effective technique to control marine biofouling without damaging the coating or discharging active ingredients into the environment. This study assessed the grooming performance of three experimental biocide-free siloxane polyurethane (SiPU)… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym13183156
Abstract: Copolymers containing MQ silicone and acrylate were synthesized by controlling the additive amount of compositions. Subsequently, fouling release coatings based on the copolymer with the incorporation of non-reactive phenylmethylsilicone oil were prepared. The surface properties… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym14183804
Abstract: To improve the antifouling performance of silicone fouling-release coatings, some fluorosilicone and silicone fouling-release coatings were prepared and cured at room temperature with hydroxyl-terminated fluoropolysiloxane (FPS) or hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a film-forming resin, tetraethyl… read more here.
