Abstract

The paper presents the experimentation on new applications of materials with a nano-ceramic struc-ture with the aim of reducing the development of biological agents on yacht hulls in both fresh and saline water. The project stems from the growing need to find an alternative to classic antifouling paints based on biocides that would represent a real eco-friendly solution during the entire life cycle of the product. The general objective of the research is to develop innovative solutions for the protection of boat hulls from bio-fouling. The program included the development of laboratory activities and reale scale testing campaign on water with comparative analysis of static samples and the use of a testing sailing boat.
