Abstract
The present invention relates to silica aerogels with a high to very high loading (55-90% w/w) of encapsulated biocidal and/or biorepellant compounds, high porosity and low thermal conductivity and to methods of making and using such aerogels in antifouling compositions, which are especially suitable for both onshore and offshore coatings (marine paints, coatings, sealants, lacquers, wood protection or similar controlled leaching systems) that are naturally exposed to humid conditions and/or water, including sea water, and thus prone to fouling.
