Waterborne coatings; electrodeposition of paints; acoustic emission testing of coatings; organic coatings in corrosion protection galvamized keinforcements in concrete; titanium dioxide for surface coatings.

The widening world of surface coatings; organotin based antifouting systems; high solids coatings; recent developments in the artificial wealthering of coatings using plasma erosion; the use of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for the analysis of organic coating systems; adhesion promoters; moleaclar relaxation processes during formation.

Drawing from the third edition of The Coatings Technology Handbook, this text provides a detailed analysis of the raw materials used in the coatings, adhesives, paints, and inks industries. Coatings Materials and Surface Coatings contains chapters covering the latest polymers, carbon resins, and high-temperature materials used for coatings, adhesives, and varnishes today.
