Novel Thermoset Siloxane-Urethane Fouling Release Coatings

Technology Benefits

These self-stratifying coatings, phase separate into a low surface energy, low modulus top layer, with a tougher lower layer design. These systems are cross-linked, which results in the locking of the structure in place and resulting in a conformation that does not rearrange on exposure to water.

Detailed Technology Description

The exploration of numerous variables involved in the design of novel crosslinked siloxane-urethane coatings was carried out using combinatorial methods. Libraries of coatings that explored the effect of siloxane level, solvent, and their variables were prepared and characterized for their surface energy and pseudobarnacle pull-off adhesion. Stability of the coatings was determined by measuring the surface energy after aging the coatings in water and re-measuring the surface energy. Coatings compositions and formulations were identified that had stable hydrophobic surfaces and also had low pseudobarnacle adhesion values.
