We show the large environmental and practical impact of nanochemistry innovation by telling the story of how the sol-gel hybrid coating technology was subtly adapted to meet the urgent demand for clean antifouling marine coatings for vessels of widely different size, composition, and operation requirements.

Abstract

We show the large environmental and practical impact of nanochemistry innovation by telling the story of how the sol-gel hybrid coating technology was subtly adapted to meet the urgent demand for clean antifouling marine coatings for vessels of widely different size, composition, and operation requirements.
