Selim, Hui Yang, Feng Q. Wang, Nesreen A. Fatthallah, Xue Li, Yue Li, Yong Huang American Coatings Association 2019 Abstract A ceramic superhydrophobic series of poly- energy and characterized via scanning electron and dimethylsiloxane/silicon carbide nanowire (SiC NW) atomic force microscopes. Nanocomposites’ mechani- composites was designed for marine fouling release cal features were tested as durability factors. Selected (FR) coatings of the ship hull. Single-crystal SiC NWs microfoulants of fungi and bacterial progenies were with 50–80 nm diameters were grown in {111} crystal used for biological assessments in the laboratory. A plane and employed as nanofillers. Ex situ silicone field test was performed on the developed coating nanocomposites were facilely developed and cured by samples in natural seawater for 3 months in a tropical a mechanism of hydrosilation. The effects of incorpo- area. Excellent distributed SiC NWs (0.5 wt%) showed rating different nanofiller concentrations on the sur- outstanding hydrophobicity with 153 contact angle, face, mechanical, and FR properties of silicone 11.25 mN/m free energy of the surface, micro-/nanos- nanocomposites were extensively studied. Surface cale roughness, and FR properties.
