The main objectives of the project is the design, development, characterization and upscaling of novel polymer based anocomposites for marine coating applications. The activities of the current proposal are expected to provide insight on the fundamental mechanisms that determine the phenomena observed in nanoscale and to facilitate their applicability to other industrial sectors.
The proposed research plan represents a key enabling technology for manufacturers to maximize profit and gain competitive advantages. Optimization of the processing input parameters will be carried out in order to achieve desired processability (e.g. rheological properties), increased performance (mechanical, electrical or thermal properties) and improved antifouling properties.
