The AIRCOAT project aims to improve energy efficiency in waterborne transport by developing a novel hull coating that reduces friction. This technology uses a biomimetic approach to create an air layer that minimizes fuel consumption and environmental impact.
The overall goal of AIRCOAT is to make European waterborne transport more energy efficient and less polluting by developing a disruptive hull coating that reduces the frictional resistance of ships.The AIRCOAT project will enhance a passive air lubrication technology that utilises the biomimetic Salvinia effect.
This effect enables trapping air through combination of a hydrophobic micro-structured surface with hydrophilic pins.
The project will technologically implement this effect on a self-adh…
