• Smart polymers for sustainable marine antifouling coatings
  25 April 2024, by ChB

  ECO-SmartAF :
  Funding: ANR
  Short Overview: The ECO-SmartAF project aims to develop new sustainable and environmentally friendly marine antifouling coatings to reduce the carbon footprint of maritime transport. Our approach is to design smart coatings that combine contact activity with appropriate amphiphilic surface chemistry, both of which prevent the adhesion of marine organisms. Smart alkoxyamine-based monomers will be designed to prepare seawater and/or enzyme-responsive polymers to (…)
