Description
A synthesis route to hydrophilic, biocide-free fouling release coatings by dispersing a polydimethylsiloxane (silicone, PDMS)-polyethylene glycol (PEG) copolymer in a PDMS coating is described. In comparison to known coatings including commercial fouling release for marine vessels, anti-fouling and fouling release perfromance was investigated by laboratory tests and by application on fresh water-cooled surface condensers mimicking conditions of thermal power plants.
