Influence of Surface Topography and Curing Chemistry on Fouling-Release Performance of Self-Stratified Siloxane-Polyurethane Coatings

Biofouling, the attachment and growth of microorganisms and aquatic animals on submerged surfaces, poses many economic and environmental challenges like increase in frictional drag, fuel consumption, and cost of maintenance of ships. Coatings containing harmful biocides, called anti-fouling (AF) coa...
