From the dawn of navigation, marine biofouling has been a major problem for shipping in such areas as reduced speed, higher fuel consumption and increased corrosion. It also affects industries using off-shore structures such as oil and gas production and aquaculture. Growing concerns about the environmental impact of antifouling coatings has led to major new research to develop more environmentally-friendly alternatives. Advances in marine antifouling coatings and technologies summaries this wealth of research and its practical implications.This book is divided into four sub-sections which discuss: marine fouling organisms and their impact, testing and development of antifouling coatings, developments in chemically-active marine antifouling technologies, and new surface approaches to the control of marine biofouling. It provides an authoritative overview of the recent advances in understanding the biology of fouling organisms, the latest developments on antifouling screening techniques both in the field and in the laboratory, research on safer active compounds and the progress on nontoxic coatings with tailor-made surface properties.With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Advances in marine antifouling coatings and technologies is a standard reference for manufacturers of marine antifouling solutions, the shipping industry, oil and gas producers, aquaculture and other industries using offshore structures, and academics researching this important area.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart 1 Marine fouling organisms and their impact: The battle against marine biofouling: A historical review\u003cbr\u003e Surface colonisation by marine organisms and its impact on antifouling research\u003cbr\u003e Algae as marine fouling organisms: Adhesion damage and prevention\u003cbr\u003e Bacterial adhesion and marine fouling\u003cbr\u003e Understanding the biofouling of off-shore and deep-sea structures\u003cbr\u003e The effects of marine biofouling on the performance of ocean-going vessels\u003cbr\u003e The impact and control of biofouling in marine finfish aquaculture\u003cbr\u003e Expected effect of climate change on fouling communities and its impact on antifouling research\u003cbr\u003e Legislation affecting antifouling products.
