Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Developments in tributyltin (TBT)-free antifoulings and foul release systems are described. The key characteristics of biocides that can be successfully used to boost the performance of copper as a biocide are outlined. Biocide-release mechanisms are described. Controlled depletion polymer antifoulings, self-polishing copolymer antifoulings, hybrid systems, and foul release products are discussed with reference to the product range of International Coatings.
