Coatings Technology: Fundamentals, Testing, and Processing Techniques

Drawing from the third edition of The Coatings Technology Handbook, this book focuses entirely on the testing, experimental design, and strategies for determining suitable processing techniques in the coatings, adhesives, paints, and inks industries. It details the use of analytical techniques to elucidate surface chemistry, adhesion, and resistance to wear, UV light, and weathering. Then it explains how techniques and equipment for applying the materials to substrates differ according to application and type of substrate used. Coatings Technology: Fundamentals, Testing, and Processing Techniques covers nearly 30 coating and processing techniques including ink-jet printing, vapor and chemical deposition technologies, electrodeposition, and high-speed dispersion.
