TitleOnderzoek naar de antifouling-activiteit van natuurstoffen in mariene coatings
Enquête sur l'activité antisalissure de substances naturelles dans les revêtements marins
Subject

Lignin, the molecule involved in the development of wood tissue in plants, is a natural organic compound and, according to research, could have an antibacterial effect. In collaboration with a university in Denmark, we will investigate whether lignin, mixed into a typical epoxy paint, could be used as an antifouling. If yes, we could develop a plant-based form of antifouling.
