Abstract:

This book aims to provide a rigorous treatment of the subject with focus on practical application and use and it is thus also aimed at the practising engineer, not just an academic audience. The book focuses on adhesively bonded joints that transfer loads and moments and have a structural func- tion, and does not deal with adhesion of thin fi lms or sheets such as coatings.

Abstract:

It is well known from the marine history that from the very beginning of the navigation, the marine fouling, i.e. growth of various aquatic organisms on the ships underwater parts was always considered a very serious problem. This book is aimed to address some key aspects of the technologies of development and application of the anti-fouling coatings intended to protect the ships hull. The following has been covered in this publication: Marine fouling organisms, their impact on the hull, chemically active marine antifouling technologies, development of antifouling coatings and their testing, various surface approaches to the control of marine bio-fouling.
