Research abstract
BARNACLE REMOVAL ON SHIPS ENTAILS SIGNIFICANT COST TO THE NAVY, AND CURRENT ANTI-FOULING PAINTS ENTAIL ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS. FLUOROCHEM HAS DEVELOPED A FLUORINATED POLYURETHANE WITH BARNACLE-RESISTANT PROPERTIES. IN THE PROPOSED PROGRAM, RELATED POLYMERS CONTAINING DISILOXANE SEGMENTS WILL BE PREPARED TO INCREASE CHAIN FLEXIBILITY AND PROVIDE IMPROVED LOW-TEMPERATURE PROPERTIES. ANTICIPATED BENEFITS/POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS - IMPROVE ANTI-FOULING COATINGS WILL IMPROVE OPERATING EFFICIENCY OF BOTH NAVAL AND COMMERCIAL SHIPPING. ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS OF TIN/COPPER BASED PAINTS WOULD BE AVOIDED. KEY WORDS - FLUOROPOLYMERS, SILOXANES, ANTI-FOULING COATINGS
