Zebra mussels were first introduced in the United States in the 1980’s into the Great Lakes. The migration of the mussels west prompted the US Bureau of Reclamation to examine technologies that might reduce their impact on water resources infrastructure. Many new materials and coating products have been developed to deter the attachment of mussels to infrastructure. Our 2nd year of research investigated new foul release coatings technologies and fluorinated powder coatings for mussel control.

Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. In recent times, Graffiti has gained widespread visual attention, most of it unwanted. Graffiti vandals may believe that their actions harm no one, yet the reality is that their work invites gang violence and a sharp decline in property values.
For years, people have relied upon a variety of industry accelerated testing methods in order to predict how long a coating / lining system may be useful in service. This type of testing would include heat aging, Atlas Cell immersion testing for lining products and accelerated weatherometer testing for coating systems, just to name a few. Polyurea spray applied elastomeric materials have been no exception to this type of testing. One of the most important testing evaluations has been accelerated weatherometer exposure for products used in outdoor application areas.
Truly self-healing materials have the capability to repair themselves when they are damaged without the need for any external intervention. Self-healing systems based on microencapsulated healing agents developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign were initially developed with polymerized resins and reinforced polymer composites as the intended applications. In this paper, we discuss the principles that emerged in the design of these self-healing systems and how they are presently used in design and optimization of self-healing systems for industrial and marine protective coatings.
