Youth- Life Cycle Assessment of Marine Coatings
FY 2020-21 · 2020-06-15
Summary
Preparation of a comparative life-cycle assessment (LCA) of the a new environmentally friendly coatings that is being developed by Graphite Innovation & Technologies (GIT) and a benchmark marine coating such as: antifouling biocide-based, copolymer auto polishing, or foul release marine coatings. Graphene-based coatings have demonstrated to be a suitable eco-friendly alternative to protect ship hulls against corrosion and biofouling. The significance of this project is to demonstrate and model graphene-based coatings versus traditional marine coatings to reduce marine industry emissions while minimizing harm to marine life.

Description (French)
Préparation d'une analyse comparative du cycle de vie d'un nouveau revêtement respectueux de l'environnement qui est en cours de conception par Graphite Innovation & Technologies (GIT) et d'un revêtement marin de référence tel qu'un revêtement antisalissure à base de biocide, un revêtement auto-polissant copolymère ou un revêtement marin à libération de saleté. Les revêtements à base de graphite ont démontré qu'ils constituaient une alternative écologique appropriée pour protéger les coques de navires contre la corrosion et les salissures biologiques. Ce projet a pour but de démontrer et de modéliser les revêtements à base de graphène par rapport aux revêtements marins traditionnels, et ce, afin de réduire les émissions de l'industrie maritime tout en minimisant les dommages causés à la vie marine.
