Title:

Youth- Life Cycle Assessment of Marine Coatings

Agreement Number:

952289

Agreement Value:

$29,988.00

Agreement Date:

Jun 15, 2020 - Mar 20, 2021

Description:

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.
