Organically changed montmorillonite (OMMT) can significantly enhance the surface property of composite blends. In this present work, for the first time we have reported the enhanced antifouling performance on the substrate, combined with cured epoxy (CE), unsaturated polyester (UP), and organically changed montmorillonite (OMMT) blends. The newly developed CE-UP-OMMT materials were submerged into the real time marine environment with the other samples of glass, plastic, fibre (broadly used in the ship hull), and wood. Since the contact angle is increased, the surface energy is decreased to the epoxy toughened blend incorporated with clay and thus showing enhanced antibacterial and antifouling properties. It provides promising results in 1 and 3 wt% clay incorporated epoxy with 10 wt% UP composite blends which improved antibacterial and antifouling performance during the microbial and macro-fouling activity in the real-time marine environment for around three months. In the future, these blends could be new opportunities for the marine industry.

有机改性的蒙脱石（OMMT）可以显着增强复合共混物的表面性能。在本工作中，我们首次报告了与固化的环氧树脂（CE），不饱和聚酯（UP）和有机改性的蒙脱土（OMMT）共混物相结合的增强的防污性能。新开发的CE-UP-OMMT材料与玻璃，塑料，纤维（广泛用于船体）和木材的其他样品一起浸入了实时海洋环境中。由于接触角增加，与粘土混合的环氧增韧共混物的表面能降低，因此显示出增强的抗菌和防污性能。它在1和3 wt％的掺有粘土的环氧树脂与10 wt％的UP复合掺合物中提供了可喜的结果，在实时海洋环境中大约三个月的微生物和宏观污染活动中，该产品改善了抗菌和防污性能。将来，这些混合物将为海洋工业带来新的机遇。
