John Wiley & Sons Inc Polymers Coatings: Technology and Applications

The explores the cutting-edge technology of polymer coatings. It discusses fundamentals, fabrication strategies, characterization techniques, and allied applications in fields such as corrosion, food, pharmaceutical, biomedical systems and electronics. It also discusses a few new innovative self-healing, antimicrobial and superhydrophobic polymer coatings.  Current industrial applications and possible potential activities are also discussed. From the Inside Flap The 18 chapters provide cutting edge accounts of fabrication methods for polymer coatings from the basic science to the latest innovations.Polymer Coatings: Technology and Applications provides an in-depth overview of principles, properties, fabrication strategies, coating formulations, surface engineering, and characterization techniques. It also deliberates various sorts of polymer coatings such as waterborne, antifouling, antimicrobial, curable, self-healable and smart coating technologies. The chapters include coatings for corrosion protection, anti-icing, liquid separation, electrochromic, biomedical, electronic and industrial applications. It explores the applications of coating for consumer and industrial appliances. The book incorporates industrial applications and fills the gap between research and development in the lab to viable applications in related ventures. Audience Researchers, scientists and engineers in the fields of polymer science, coating technology, adhesion science, materials science, environmental chemistry and industrial applications.
