Amphiphilic hydrogel particles for antifouling paint and method of fabricating the same

摘要

This invention relates to amphiphilic hydrogel particles for antifouling paint, which are environmentally friendly and in which anti-corrosion and antifouling effects can be maximized through a single coating process. The amphiphilic hydrogel particles are fabricated by encapsulating conducting polymer particles having anti-corrosion functionality with functional nanoparticles having antifouling functionality and then immobilizing the functional nanoparticles on a hydrogel matrix, whereby the conducting polymer particles contained in the functional nanoparticles are slowly and continuously released or the release rate thereof can be controlled so as to release the corresponding particles in a specific environment, ultimately maintaining long-term functionality. The conducting polymer particles contained in the amphiphilic functional nanoparticles can exhibit anti-corrosion functionality, thus maximizing anti-corrosion and antifouling effects through a single coating process.
