Materials

The substance from which a device is made.

Materials refer to the substances used to create devices, substructures, moorings, coatings, export cables, and more. The availability of reliable, high-performance, and affordable materials for marine renewable energy applications will certainly affect the industry’s progress towards commercialization. Some materials may be borrowed from similar industries, such as using anti-fouling paints from the maritime industry. However, the marine renewable energy industry has some unique applications and constraints that require new materials to address specific structural and performance needs.
