Coatings which are immersed or permanently in contact with water will inevitably accumulate organisms on their surface, i.e., bio-fouling will take place. This phenomenon is of major relevance in many application fields. In marine coatings, for example, the accumulation of fouling leads to an increased drag resistance and higher fuel consumption. Furthermore, it requires frequent maintenance and dry-dock repair which have a highly negative environmental and economic impact.

Revolutionizing Emulsion Coating Films: The Power of Structure-Controlled Aluminum Silicate Nanofillers
In a hydrothermal synthesis process, a non-crystalline aluminum silicate similar to the clay mineral allophane was created. This synthetic mineral was subsequently incorporated as a nanofiller into both clear and multicolored aqueous emulsion paints. Analysis through X-ray diffraction confirmed the nanofiller’s amorphous structure, displaying a narrow particle size distribution with an average diameter of 1.2 […]
