Course Objective

Artificial surfaces immersed in a seawater cover by fouling organisms. Biofouling process occurred on ships' hull causes increasing fuel consumption, maneuverability limitation and decreasing speed. In this course, antifouling strategies to prevent biofouling on ships' hull and current paint systems on this field will be particularly examined.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   The students will be able to explain biofouling and they know related organisms,
2   classify the coating developed for biofouling and express the antifouling terminology
3   know compounds and their percentage used in antifouling paints,
4   know antifouling paints and their composition which have environmental hazards on marine ecosystem and explain advantages and disadvantages of alternative eco-friendly antifouling paints,
5   examine current published papers and patents related to antifouling biocides and paints technology.
