Abstract

Effects of material surface property, hydrophobic or hydrophilic, on the bio-fouling occurred on the bodies submerged in the sea water are investigated experimentally. 4 test models are used in the experiment, which includes aluminum foil in common use, AAO applied hydrophobic surface, HDFS coated hydrophobic surface and hydrophilic surface. Hydrophobic surfaces with numerous micro & nano-scale pillars on it seems to play very important role of preventing them from fouling in initial stage while the effects disappear in long term sense of fouling process. It is concluded that the surface hydrophobicity retards the initial fouling until the fouling thickness is smaller than the heights of the pillars on it but the effects diminish with the fouling proceeds so that the thickness grows bigger than the pillar heights.

본 논문에서는 해수에 잠겨있는 물체표면의 물리적 성질과 생물오손현상 간의 상관관계를 관찰하기 위하여 생물오손에 미치는 소수성(hydrophobic) 표면의 효과에 대해 실험해석을 수행하였다. 시편으로서, 일반알루미늄, 소수성표면을 가진 알루미늄, 친수성(hydrophilic)표면을 가진 알루미늄 등 세 종류를 사용하였으며, 단, 소수성시편의 경우, AAO(Anodic Aluminum Oxide)기법으로 제작한 것과 HDFS(heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2,-tetrahydrodecyltricholorosilane)코팅처리하여 제작한 것, 두 종류를 사용하였다. 세 종류, 네 개의 시편에서 확인된 생물오손정도는 중장기적인 면에서는 시편 간에 큰 차이가 없지만, 오손초기에는 괄목할 만한 차이가 관찰되었다. 생물 부착물의 두께가 소수성표면의 미세돌기 높이에 다다를 때 까지는 소수성표면의 오손지연효과가 현저하게 나타나나, 일단 이를 초과하면 소수성표면의 오손방지효과는 소멸됨을 확인하였다.
