Marine Systems

Nowadays, graphene-based nano composites are one of the most active research fields because it sensitively improves the properties of different polymers. Two of the most significant problems in naval and offshore sectors are corrosion and adherence of marine life which affects systems performance, making necessary costly labours of maintenance. Graphene is capable of adopting superhydrophobic behaviour and it has antibacterial properties, allowing the design of nanotech-based coatings with better performance in marine environments than the best naval paints available.

Graphene makes an excellent addition to marine coatings because of its incredible mechanical properties arising from the fact that it is a single layer of carbon atoms in a regular repeating pattern. This gives it excellent strength whilst also ensuring it is highly flexible and lightweight.

Besides, in terms of marine applications, when placed in a hull coating, graphene can provide a high degree of corrosion resistance thanks to the fact that it is chemically inert.

This isn’t just beneficial to shipping companies in reducing wear and tear to vessels, however. By preventing paint from flaking away from hulls it can also help protect marine ecosystems from exposure to potentially toxic ingredients.

In addition to the anti-fouling property of graphene, combined properties can also be gained.
