Abstract

Oil booms are used in the containment of oil leaking from ships moored in harbors around the world. However, marine biofouling quickly accumulates on these materials. The application of coatings offers a potential solution by preventing the growth of these organisms, but issues with adhesion of coatings to the oil boom materials remain a large barrier to success. This work is focused on testing the adhesion of marine coatings systems to oil boom fabrics after use of surface treatments or adhesion promoters. Surface analysis of fabrics showed a large variation in surface energy, contributing to the adhesion of coatings to these substrates. A laboratory water-jet adhesion-screening test identified several combinations of surface treatments and adhesion promoters that improved adhesion of coatings to various oil boom substrates. Large-scale field-testing of these candidates displayed improved cleanability, which translated into an increase in service life for coated oil boom fabrics.

期刊介绍： Biofouling is an international, peer-reviewed, multi-discliplinary journal which publishes original articles and mini-reviews and provides a forum for publication of pure and applied work on protein, microbial, fungal, plant and animal fouling and its control, as well as studies of all kinds on biofilms and bioadhesion. Papers may be based on studies relating to characterisation, attachment, growth and control on any natural (living) or man-made surface in the freshwater, marine or aerial environments, including fouling, biofilms and bioadhesion in the medical, dental, and industrial context. Specific areas of interest include antifouling technologies and coatings including transmission of invasive species, antimicrobial agents, biological interfaces, biomaterials, microbiologically influenced corrosion, membrane biofouling, food industry biofilms, biofilm based diseases and indwelling biomedical devices as substrata for fouling and biofilm growth, including papers based on clinically-relevant work using models that mimic the realistic environment in which they are intended to be used.
