Performance Enhancement in Coatings
1998,
320 pages, 175 figures; by Edward W. Orr
$109.95
Description
The science of environmentally friendly coatings is a very young, but
rapidly growing discipline. As a result, there is a shortage of integrative
information that overviews the interrelationships that exist among all
the disparate sub-disciplines. This textbook provides the missing link
by offering a critical overview of cutting edge, interdisciplinary technology
designed to improve performance. It is the first text to describe how
additives have evolved to not only take the mystery out of environmentally
friendly coatings, but also to meet the challenge of the twenty-first
century.
