Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attempts to microencapsulate silicone oils for enhanced fouling release coatings with thermoset wall structures were unsuccessful: Microcapsule filled coatings failed abrasion resistance tests and had mediocre fouling release properties, despite having controlled release rates. Microcapsules with an alternative gel cap wall structure have been obtained from Cannon Chemical Co. Q-panels have been prepared in which the gel caps were incorporated into RTV11 at 10% loading and in the J501 tiecoat at 10% loading and have been deployed at FIT for foul release testing. Panels have also been sent to FIT in which capsicum has been incorporated into RTV11.
