Marine Antifouling Coatings

Antifouling paints are the most reliable to prevent biofouling surfaces immersed way. The high toxicity of organotin paintings, prompted us to look for ideas to develop paints that do not present environmental risks.In this work, we have prepared three paints polymers of allylamine of allyldiethylphosphonate and acrylic acid. Chemical modification of the products is performed by means of a radical reaction. The products obtained from the reactions are performed by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), (19 F NMR), infrared (IR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and light scattering (DDL) at a fixed angle 90 °. The glass transition temperature of telomers is obtained by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Properties antifouling paints are followed by exposure of the plates to the marine environment by visual observation and we finished by image processing using ImageJ software.
