Nanotechnology 195.00 $

Pages: 168

The chemical nanotechnology is one of the special areas of nanotechnology. By varying the composition, shape, size or character of the surface, these nanoparticles can be shaped time and again into small building blocks, resulting in unprecedented scopes for material design. At this moment in time, the developments in the field of modern nanotechnology provide amazing success stories, such as the possibility for reconstructing surface structures for industrial materials that are demonstrated to us in nature.

Functional Coatings 245.00 $

Pages: 250

Coatings are mainly applied on surfaces for decorative, protective, or functional purposes, but in most cases it is a combination of these. Functional coatings possess, besides the traditional properties of a coating an additional functionality. This additional functionality may be diverse, and depend upon the actual application. Typical examples of functional coatings are easy-to-clean, self-cleaning, anti-graffiti, anti-fingerprinting, antifouling, soft feel, antibacterial, anti-ice, anti-fogging etc. This book provides an overview on functional coatings and the principles they are based on.

Film Formation | In Modern Paint Systems 245.00 $

Pages: 192

A properly formed film plays a vital role in the quality of coatings. The book of Peter Mischke helps to acquire an extensive understanding of film formation. From a brief explanation of the main coating concepts over methods of application up to the physical aspects of drying, “Film Formation” provides a holistic description of the basic principles. It covers also fundamental polymer and physicochemical aspects and in addition to that it contains a brief overview of test methods. It is suited for everyone aspiring to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of film formation. For newcomers, career-changers, students and professionals who wish to deepen their theoretical knowledge of technique and coatings chemistry. Also for experts who wish to tackle specific problems beyond their daily practice.

Radiation Curing | Coatings and Printing Inks 245.00 $

Pages: 172

Radiation curing is the fastest growing technology in the inks and coatings industries. The popularity of this technology was the drive to publish a book like this. It has been written as reference guide who combines theory and practice for the daily work. The book focuses on 100 % liquid coating systems that are radically or cationically curable by UV or electron beam radiation. Furthermore it offers guidance on how to select raw materials and features a troubleshooting chapter which provides concrete answers to possible problems. “Radiation Curing” was not only written for formulators but also for students and young professionals in coatings and printing inks with no previous experience in this topic.

Accelerated Testing 245.00 $

Pages: 192

Accelerated testing serves to determine the coating’s ageing behavior. Thus it has become an indispensable tool of quality assurance for monitoring coating development as well as series production over the last 100 years. This book shows how to identify the challenging aspects of accelerated testing, how to avoid errors and thus how to boost quality of the test results. Expert knowledge that enables paint testers to make an informed choice about the methods and instruments to employ in accelerated weathering.

Paint Analysis 245.00 $

Pages: 143

The market demands modern paints that possess specified properties. Where deviations from set points occur, the cause must be investigated and the error must be remedied. What “standard methods” don’t disclose is why a particular coating either meets or fails to meet a requirement. Thus the author presents modern analytical techniques and their applications in the coatings industry that answer further complex questions. The information in this book can be used for performing failure analysis, production control and quality control, and also meet the requirements of modern high-level quality management. It can act as a reference for explaining why a coating or production failure has occurred and at the same time provide inspiration for an analytical solution. An excellent combination of theory and practice for engineers and technicians engaged in coatings production, application and substrate production.
