[0042] 5. The present invention provides an environmentally friendly marine antifouling nano-coating and a preparation method thereof. Inorganic nanoparticles are covalently bonded to a water-based film-forming resin through a silane coupling agent to improve the wear resistance of the coating. The aggregation of nanoparticles is effectively inhibited in an environment with a pH value of 7.5-8.5, ensuring no sedimentation during a long storage period. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
