SPC paints have the mechanism of hydrolysis or ion exchange reaction of an acrylic polymer with seawater. It has been applied to antifouling paints because SPCs are constantly eroded. In this study, we synthesized SPC resins containing poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) groups and manufactured antifouling paints employing the synthesized SPC resins. The structures of the synthesized resins were confirmed using FT-IR and NMR. The drag-reduction property of the developed paints was examined by rotor tests and LDV(Laser Doppler Velocimetry) tests.
