    Composition antifouling coating: Effect of siloxane and fluorinated oil incorporation on marine biofilm formation
    (2014-01-01) Akuzov D.; Vladkova T.; Klöppel A.; Brümmer F.; Murthy S.
    Composition polysiloxane based coatings are currently the only viable commercial alternative of the toxic biocide containing antifouling paints. Oil incorporation improves the foul-releasing ability of the polysiloxane coatings. The impact of non-reactive, different molecular mass, both siloxane and fluorinated oil on the biofilm formation onto developed by us polysiloxane composition coating is presented. It is evaluated in laboratory and field experiments on the ground of the determination of the elastic modulus, water contact angle, critical surface tension, surface roughness and topography.
