Research on electromagnetic wave absorption properties of zinc-based acrylate resins for marine antifouling coating

●Multifunctional zinc-based acrylate resins for marine antifouling and EM wave absorption were prepared and researched.●The resins effectively inhibited the growth and adhesion of bacteria (>90%) and algae (optimal: 92.5%).●The ARZn-x without antifoulants can maintain their antifouling properties for more than 4 months in marine.●RLmin was -40.18 dB at 1.5 mm and 30.55 GHz, and full absorption was achieved in the range of 1.0 ~ 5.5 mm at 18-40 GHz.
