Hazard of novel anti-fouling nanomaterials and biocides DCOIT and silver to marine organisms

Biocides encapsulation appears to be a promising solution to develop a new generation of efficient anti-fouling additives ( e.g. SiNC–DCOIT; SiNC–DCOIT–Ag) for maritime coatings with lower environmental hazard than the current state-of-the-art biocides ( e.g. DCOIT).
