Peter Mischke 662326, Hochschule Niederrhein Krefeld 963137 — Film Formation in Modern Paint Systems

Vincentz Network, Hardback, 192, The Mission: An understanding of film formation in its entirety from basic coating concepts to the physico-chemical aspects of how films are formed through to application of the ready-to-use coating. This approach obviates the need for prior academic training to fully understand the principles and relationships that underlie film formation. It also constitutes an important step towards the formulation of perfect coatings that perform brilliantly. The Audience: Not only newcomers, career-changers, students and professionals wanting to deepen their theoretical knowledge of technique on one hand and coatings chemistry on the other, but also experts seeking to tackle specific problems that extend beyond their daily practice. This book is suited for everyone aspiring to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of film formation. The Value: This book, with a well-balanced range of topics, provides a comprehensive description of the basic principles of film formation. Its middle section covers fundamental polymer and physico-chemical aspects in great detail. This layout enables readers who lack an academic background in chemistry to understand the more specific content of the later chapters, without first having to study a comprehensive textbook on the subject., Goed
