The project aims to improve anti-biofouling technology by developing a ‘smart and green’ coating that requires no toxic biocides and makes use of copper already present in the water. Biofouling is the unwanted attachment and growth on surfaces in water; it causes significant problems on ships and in drinking water systems, and damages infrastructure and capital investment. Biofouling also carries a significant risk of spreading diseases and environmental damage through the introduction of invasive marine species. Existing coatings release highly toxic substances into the water, causing untold environmental damage. This project offers a single, comprehensive solution for all of the above problems.

该项目旨在通过开发一种“智能和绿色”涂料来改善抗生物污染技术，这种涂料不需要有毒的杀菌剂，并利用水中已经存在的铜。生物污垢是在水中表面上不必要的附着和生长;它对船舶和饮用水系统造成严重问题，并破坏基础设施和资本投资。生物淤积还带来了通过引入入侵海洋物种传播疾病和破坏环境的重大风险。现有的涂料会向水中释放剧毒物质，造成无法估量的环境破坏。该项目为上述所有问题提供了一个单一的、全面的解决方案。
