Selected Papers from the 18th International Congress on Marine Corrosion and Fouling
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 18th ICMCF will keep with past traditions by providing an interdisciplinary program that will highlight research efforts in understanding and combating biofouling and corrosion of materials and structures immersed in the marine environment. The ambition of this congress is to bring experts from around the world providing the latest basic and applied research advances in biology, microbiology, chemistry, physical chemistry, coatings, and materials to help meet these challenges. This Special Issue presents a selection of papers from the conference; the papers both give insight into current research and commercial developments and highlight some of the areas where further research is required.
