ABSTRACT
Combinatorial and high throughput experimental methods are being applied to the design and development of novel polymers and coatings used in a number of application areas. Methods have been developed for polymer synthesis and screening and for the development of polymer thin film and coating libraries and the screening of these libraries for key properties such as surface energy and modulus. Combinatorial and high throughput methods enable the efficient exploration of a large number of compositional variables over a wide range. In the development of coatings for use in the marine environment, the key challenge is in the development of screening methods that can predict good performance. A number of assays are under development that will permit the rapid screening of the interaction of coatings with representative marine organisms.
