A Research on Release of Copper Ions and Panels in Shallow Submergence of Antifouling Paints with Nanoadditives

Article Preview

Abstract:

For self-polishing coating with cuprous oxide serving as the main antifouling agent, the release rate of copper ions is one of the most important factors to evaluate its antifouling effect and validity period. In this work, experimental research was carried out involving the release rate as well as the panels in shallow submergence of antifouling paints with nanoadditives. The results indicated that the prepared coating with a slow and steady release rate in range of 20 to 25μg/(d·cm2) had a long-term and efficient antifouling performance. Synergistic effect of the photocatalysis activity of nanotitanium dioxide and the sterilization ability of cuprous oxide contributed to the antifouling effect in view of the evaluation of the antifouling panels in shallow submergence.
