On the mechanism of marine fouling-prevention performance of oil-containing silicone elastomers
Abstract For many decades, silicone elastomers with oil incorporated have served as fouling-release coating for marine applications. In a comprehensive study involving a series of laboratory-based marine fouling assays and extensive global field studies of up to 2-year duration, we compare polydimet...
