Study on surface properties of non-toxic silicone antifouling coatings with low surface energy

The non-toxic silicone antifouling coatings with various compositions are prepared,and their surface properties are studied.The results show that:①the pigment and binder ratio has significant influence on surface properties of low surface energy antifouling coatings;②PDMDPS silicone oil with high content of phenyl can diffuse to the surface of the coatings,and change their surface properties;③the silicone antifouling coatings with low surface energy possess excellent stability in seawater,and the fouling marine organisms can be fell off facilely by the effect of seawater scouring.
