Overview
Advances in the technology and application of materials in the marine environment continue. This conference will examine recent developments in the area with additional focus on the use of coatings.
Lightweight structures have always been at the forefront of research. There have been recent advances in the marine use of aluminium and titanium as well as continuing rapid progress in the available range of composites. Steel structures have also been addressed with continuing research into high strength varieties, not to mention steel composite and sandwich materials.
Coatings can be used in marine applications to change a wide variety of material properties. These can range from: paints, which can provide corrosion resistance and antifouling properties; to coatings that can provide increased wear resistance, better mechanical properties or fire protection.
This conference will provide a forum for materials engineers, naval architects and those involved in the manufacture and application of coatings to meet and share recent developments.
