Antifouling Paint Formulation Incorporating Tungsten Nanotubes

An antifouling paint formulation incorporating tungsten nanotubes comprises:

• a paint base;
• a tungsten sulfide nanotube filler;
• a quantity of biocides;
• the paint base comprises volume solids and a volatile solvent;
• the quantity of biocides and the volume solids being homogenously amalgamated into the volatile solvent;
• the tungsten sulfide nanotube filler being heterogeneously suspended throughout the paint base;
• and
• the tungsten sulfide nanotube filler being a plurality of tungsten sulfide nanotubes.
