Principles of Organic Coatings and Finishing

Book excerpt: This book provides an accessible way to learn about organic coatings and finishing. The coating materials are considered here from the angle of chemical reactions and mechanisms of film formation. The examples and exercises provided in here will also help the reader achieve technical insights into the subject and obtain a deep understanding of the principles underlying the technology. This book also provides the reader with the basic knowledge and skills required for handling mixtures. As rheological technology has been widely used in research papers for academic exchange and solving technical problems on organic coatings and finishing, this book collects and compiles a number of reference works on rheological technology, demonstrating how to use it in organic coatings and finishing.
