Download or read book Film Formation in Waterborne Coatings written by Theodore Provder and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covers recent advances in the understanding of the film-formation process brought about by new instrumentation technology. Section I focuses on the mechanism of film formation and the uses of methods such as fluorescence spectroscopy, small-angle neutron scattering, and dielectric spectroscopy. Section II looks at measuring film mechanical properties and relating them to the film-formation process. Section III deals with relevant morphology and film structure, and Section IV details the application of novel chemistry and processes to develop unique film structures for coating systems.
