| Abstract | The effects of formulation variables, such as type of polyol, solvent type and solvent content, and coating application method, on the surface properties of siloxane–polyurethane fouling-release coatings were explored. Fouling-release coatings allow the easy removal of marine organisms from a ship’s hull via the application of a shear force to the surface. Self-stratified siloxane–polyurethane coatings are a new approach to a tough fouling-release coating system. Combinatorial High Throughput Experimentation was employed to formulate and characterize 24 different siloxane–polyurethane coatings applied using drawdown and drop-casting methods. The resulting coatings were tested for surface energy using contact angle measurements. The fouling-release performance of the coatings was tested using a number of diverse marine organisms including bacteria (Halomonas pacifica and Cytophaga lytica), sporelings (young plants) of the green macroalga (Ulva linza), diatom ((microalga) Navicula incerta), and barnacle (Amphibalanus amphitrite). The performance of the majority of the coatings was found to be better than the silicone standards, Intersleek$^{®}$ and Silastic$^{®}$ T2. An increase in solvent content in the formulations increased the surface roughness of the coatings. Coatings made with polycaprolactone polyol appeared to be somewhat rougher compared to coatings made with the acrylic polyol. The adhesion strength of sporelings of Ulva increased with an increase in solvent content and increase in surface roughness. The adhesion strengths of Ulva sporelings, C. lytica, and N. incerta were independent of application method (cast or drawdown) in contrast to H. pacifica adhesion, which was dependent on the application method. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
