Cel "Marine biofouling can be defined as the colonization of man-made surfaces in seawater by microscopic and macroscopic organisms. This phenomenon can result in great loss of function and effectiveness both for cruising ships and for static constructions. Of special concern is the negative effects of hard foulers such as barnacles, which cause [1]: (i) increased drag resistance resulting in up to 40% increases fuel consumption, and (ii) disruption of the corrosion protective layer of marine vessels and constructions. Current antifouling technologies are based either on release of biocides or on low-adhesion coatings, e.g. silicone based coatings. Present biocide-based strategies are based on a continuous exposure of biocides at the film/water interface and consequently release into the environment if the antifouling efficacy is to be maintained. Such biocide-based solutions can therefore not be regarded as sustainable. Low adhesion coatings suffer from drawbacks of low durability and associated high material and maintenance costs. Therefore, there is currently no sustainable and cost-efficient solution available on the market today to minimize the costly and environmentally important problem of marine biofouling of marine vessels and constructions.Recently we have reported [2] a novel method to deal with hard fouler such as barnacles. This approach is not based on the exposure and release of biocide into the water. Instead it is based on the direct contact between biocide residing inside a coating and fouling organisms such as the barnacles.The technical challenge of the project is to find the optimal combination of biocide/coating matrix in order to completely eliminate the release of biocides. Expected impacts of the project are: lower fuel consumption, lower dispersion of biocide, reduced maintenance cost and longer life time (economical aspects) together with, reduced accumulation in the system of biocides and CO2 and reduced alien species transportation by ships" Dziedzina nauki engineering and technologymaterials engineeringcoating and filmsengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsengineering and technologymechanical engineeringvehicle engineeringnaval engineeringsea vessels Program(-y) FP7-TRANSPORT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Transport (including Aeronautics) Temat(-y) SST.2012.5.2-3. - Innovative structural and outfitting materials for ships including inland ships Zaproszenie do składania wniosków FP7-SST-2012-RTD-1 Zobacz inne projekty w ramach tego zaproszenia System finansowania CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Koordynator RISE RESEARCH INSTITUTES OF SWEDEN AB Wkład UE € 1 135 549,00 Adres Brinellgatan 4 501 15 Boras Szwecja Zobacz na mapie Region Södra Sverige Västsverige Västra Götalands län Rodzaj działalności Research Organisations Kontakt administracyjny Jukka Lausmaa (Dr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych Uczestnicy (6) Sortuj alfabetycznie Sortuj według wkładu UE Rozwiń wszystko Zwiń wszystko GOETEBORGS UNIVERSITET Szwecja Wkład UE € 221 626,00 Adres Vasaparken 405 30 Goeteborg Zobacz na mapie Region Södra Sverige Västsverige Västra Götalands län Rodzaj działalności Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Kontakt administracyjny Annika Bergman (Dr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych UNIVERSITY OF PORTSMOUTH HIGHER EDUCATION CORPORATION Zjednoczone Królestwo Wkład UE € 233 730,00 Adres Winston churchill avenue university house PO1 2UP Portsmouth Zobacz na mapie Region South East (England) Hampshire and Isle of Wight Portsmouth Rodzaj działalności Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Kontakt administracyjny Elizabeth Bartle (Dr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych Community of European Shipyards Associations asbl Belgia Wkład UE € 41 767,00 Adres Rue marie de bourgogne 52 1000 Brussels Zobacz na mapie Rodzaj działalności Other Kontakt administracyjny Douwe Cunningham (Mr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych MINISTRY OF DEFENCE Brazylia Wkład UE € 133 165,00 Adres Esplanada dos ministerios bloco q CEP 70049 900 Distrito federal Zobacz na mapie Rodzaj działalności Public bodies (excluding Research Organisations and Secondary or Higher Education Establishments) Kontakt administracyjny Ricardo Coutinho (Dr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych BOERO BARTOLOMEO SPA Włochy Wkład UE € 269 562,00 Adres Via giuseppe macaggi 19/10 16121 Genova Zobacz na mapie Rodzaj działalności Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Kontakt administracyjny Valerio Silvagno (Mr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych ENTARKO KHIMIKES EPIKHEIRISEIS ARKOMANI ANONIMOS VIOMIKHANIKI KAI EMPORIKI ETAIREIA Grecja Wkład UE € 113 004,00 Adres Athina lamia 15 th km end of melpomenis odos 14564 kifissia 14564 Athina Zobacz na mapie Rodzaj działalności Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Kontakt administracyjny Christine Kritikou (Mrs.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych
