The Waterborne: Environmentally Friendly Coating Technologies

Latest in the waterborne coatings series, this volume comprises 34 original papers on all phases of waterborne coatings, including UV curing, biobased coatings, polymer chemistry and processing, additives and pigmentation. Polymer chemistry is presented to improve processing of waterborne coatings and their adhesion to wood, metal and plastic surfaces under a range of environmental conditions. New information is provided on testing, nanoparticles, tank coatings, and specialized colorants. Highlights include: Polymer and colloidal chemistry, fabrication and testing of waterborne coatings; PURs, polyisocyanates, acrylics, vinyls and more; Sustainable surfactants, water soluble catalysts, high-throughput rheology, pigments.
