Additional information

This paper reported our pioneering research on utilising a layer structured nano-clay as water barrier to improve conventional gel coat for protection of polymer composite structures in a marine environment. The knowledge generated from this study led to a number of research and consultancy projects with Pall Europe (Dr J-H Xue, Senior R&D Scientist, Jinghui_Xu@europe.pall.com), Safeguard Europe (Dr E Rirsch, Technical Director, eric.rirsch@safeguardeurope.com), Gurit (Dr H Francis, Laboratory and Testing Manager, Harvey.Francis@gurit.com), Materials Technology Ltd (Dr N Kenworthy, Technical Director, nick@mtechltd.co.uk) and Wartsila (Mr B Piggott, Development Engineer, Barry.Piggott@Wartsila.com).
