- For the first time, the effect of Cu2O particle size on the formation of fouling and hydrodynamic performance of Copper based antifouling has been systematically investigated through a rigorous combination of theoretical and sophisticated experimental work. The results of this international collaboration, which was funded by the American Chemet Corporation, is contributing to the company’s and to the wider industry’s decision making on the best performing copper based antifouling paints which consequently will reduce the environmental impact of ships as a result of less fuel consumption due to less added drag by fouling.
