Abstract
An antifouling paint formulation incorporating tungsten nanotubes is applied to surfaces to impart a biomimetic antifouling coating, as well as, repairing and strengthening microscopic fractures of the surface. The antifouling paint formulation includes a paint base, a tungsten sulfide nanotube filler, and a quantity of biocides. The quantity of biocides inhibit and prevent the growth of organisms on the painted surface. The tungsten nanotube filler fills the void within microscopic fractures, reinforcing the surface material. The paint base includes a color pigment, a bonding resin within a volatile solvent. The quantity of biocides and the tungsten sulfide nanotube filler are mixed into the paint base in order to be dispersed across the surface as the antifouling paint formulation is painted on the surface.
