Coatings based on epoxy diane oligomer ED-20 are being developed as environmentally benign, foulingresistant marine coatings. Silver oxide and carbonate (mixture) was used as filler, the dispersion of which is 0.5 µm. It is proved that for the formation of composites with the improved physical and mechanical properties it is necessary to add Mechanical Mixture of Silver Carbonate and Oxide (MMSCO) in the amount of q = 0.050…0.250 pts. wt. into the epoxy diane oligomer ED-20 (100 pts. wt.). The obtained values of impact toughness of composites during the introduction of MMSCO into the binder increased by 2.5 times compared to the epoxy matrix. Moreover, the maximum capacity to resist impact loads, including fracture toughness, was demonstrated by the Composite Material (CM) with the filler content q = 0.050 pts. wt. Impact toughness of this CM is а = 18.53 kJ/m2. The developed materials and protective coatings based on them were used on the dry cargo ship Oles Honchar.

Marine Antifouling

In marine industries, the accumulation of organic matter and marine organisms on ship hulls and instruments limits performance, requiring frequent maintenance and increasing fuel costs. Current coatings technology to combat this biofouling relies heavily on the use of toxic, biocide-containing paints. These pose a serious threat to marine ecosystems, affecting both target and nontarget organisms. Innovation in the design of polymers offers an excellent platform for the development of alternatives, but the creation of a broad-spectrum, nontoxic material still poses quite a hurdle for researchers. Surface chemistry, physical properties, durability, and attachment scheme have been shown to play a vital role in the construction of a successful coating. This review explores why these characteristics are important and how recent research accounts for them in the design and synthesis of new environmentally benign antifouling and fouling release materials.

Static Immersion

AbstractStatic immersion tests are commonly used to evaluate the performance of marine coatings prior to use on ship hulls or for other applications. Although these tests provide valuable data, they do not expose the coatings to the hydrodynamic and fouling conditions that will be present when a ship is underway, thus making it difficult to extrapolate results to ship hull performance. The present study reports data for two commercially available ship hull coatings (one antifouling and one fouling release coating) exposed concurrently to static and dynamic ocean conditions for 4 months. Coatings that were exposed to static conditions developed macrofouling communities dominated by tubeworms, tunicates, and encrusting bryozoans. The coatings subjected to dynamic conditions were fouled only by biofilms and green macroalgae. The results show a difference in coating performance depending on immersion environment (static vs. dynamic) as well as coating type. This highlights the importance of utilizing dynamic testing concurrently with static immersion in coating evaluation to better understand how the system will respond to hydrodynamic stresses. Knowing how a coating performs under various real-world conditions can help drive ship hull management and determine which coating is appropriate for the ship's operational schedule.
