Download or read book The Chemistry and Physics of Coatings written by Alastair Marrion and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2004 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book stresses important physical phenomena such as rheology, film formation, and mechanical properties, their exploitation in paint, and the economic and legislative background against which coatings technology is tested. Attention is given to the chemistry of the polymers, pigments, and solvents that compose typical coatings, and the complex 'science and art' of formulating them effectively. The book also aims to give insights into the commercial application of the chemistries described, and includes a glossary of industry and polymer-related terms.
