Abstract

In this study, we explore the effect of phenylmethylsilicone oil (PSO) addition amount and viscosity in a fouling release coating based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The surface properties, mechanical properties, anti-fouling and drag-reduction performance of the coating were studied. Meanwhile the influence of the basic properties of the coating on the anti-fouling and drag-reduction performance was also studied. Subsequently, the antifouling performance of the coating was investigated by the Navicula Tenera and bacteria adhesion test. As a result, the high content of PSO paint has a high foul removal rate. The incorporation of PSO into paint can reduce the elastic modulus and surface energy of the coating to reduce its relative adhesion factor (RAF). The lower the RAF, the better the antifouling effect of the coating. The drag-reduction performance of the coating was verified by the torque selection experiment, and the results showed that incorporation of PSO into paint can enhance the elongation and hydrophobicity of the coating, thereby increasing the drag reduction rate of the coating.
