Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental theories and basic knowledge of coating preparation, starting with the three main components of coatings—film-forming substances, solvents, and pigments. It discusses the principles of resin preparation for coatings, solubility theory and solubility parameters, pigment dispersion theory, film-forming theory of coatings, mechanical and viscoelastic theory of coatings, rheological behavior of coatings, emulsion polymerization and nucleation theory, UV curing principles, and the preparation principles of several main "saving-oriented" coatings. Considering that coatings is a highly applied discipline, this book, while discussing the basic theories of coatings, also introduces corresponding applications in major fields of coatings by combining latest formulation examples. This book can serve as a reference for teachers, students, and technical personnel in colleges and universities engaged in teaching, research, production, and application of coatings and polymers.
