  2. 1. Cu(I) stabilizing polymers for marine anti-fouling applications

    Author : Alireza Movahedi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; coordinating polymers; copper; anti-fouling coatings; CuAAC; triazole; epoxide.; polymer functionalization; click chemistry;

    Abstract : The growth of marine organisms on immersed surfaces in seawater is known as biofouling and causes several problems for marine transportation. The need to combat fouling is thus of great importance. Copper has to be used in extreme amounts to act as an efficient biocide. READ MORE

  4. 2. Release rates and toxicity of metals from anti-fouling paints and the role of chemical speciation

    Author : Erik Ytreberg; Britta Eklund; Magnus Breitholtz; Christina Rudén; Ingela Dahllöf; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Anti-fouling paints; Toxicity test; Ceramium tenuicorne; Nitocra spinipes; Copper; Zinc; Free Ion Activity Model FIAM ; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : The aim of this doctoral thesis was to investigate and improve the risk assessment of anti-fouling paints. A new method, the Petri-dish method, was developed to determine release rates of copper and zinc from anti-fouling paints (Paper I). READ MORE

  5. 3. Application of Ecotoxicological tests for toxicity of anti-fouling paints

    Author : Jenny Karlsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Environmental science;

  6. 4. Hazard Identification of Anti-fouling Paints and Contaminated Sediments by the Use of Biological Tests in Brackish Water

    Author : Jenny Karlsson; Britta Eklund; Magnus Breitholtz; Göran Dave; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anti-fouling paints; Toxicity tests; Hazard identification; Sediment toxicity; Ceramium tenuicorne; Nitocra spinipes; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Ecotoxicological test methods are important tools in environmental risk assessment to investigate possible adverse effects that chemical substances may cause to aquatic ecosystems. The main aim of this doctoral thesis was to identify potential toxicity (hazard) of anti-fouling compounds and paints as well as contaminated sediments. READ MORE

  7. 5. Corrosion-induced release of zinc and copper in marine environments

    Author : Jan Sandberg; Inger Odnevall Wallinder; Dan Persason; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; copper; zinc; marine environment; runoff rate; atmospheric corrosion; chloride deposition; anti-fouling paints; chemical speciation; bioavailability; cupric ions; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : This licentiate study was initiated by copper, zinc and galvanized steel producers in Europe, who felt a need to assess runoff rates of copper and zinc from the pure metals and commercial products at marine exposure conditions. Their motive was the increasing concern in various European countries and the on-going risk assessments of copper and zinc within the European commission. READ MORE
