Features: Organic Coatings Science and Technology (Second Edition) is a new book co-authored by three American coating experts, Professors Weixi, Jones, and Bapu. Unlike traditional coating books, it does not sequentially describe various raw materials or introduce preparation techniques. This book combines theory with practice, focusing not only on technology but also on organizing the scientific principles reflected in related phenomena. It covers topics such as polymerization and film formation, flow, mechanical properties, outdoor weather resistance, adhesion, and coating corrosion protection. Subsequent chapters on color and appearance emphasize fundamental principles. Discussions are provided on binders such as latex, amino resins, polyurethanes, epoxy, phenolic, acrylic, polyester, and alkyd, as well as solvents, pigments, dispersion, application methods, film defects, high-solid and water-based coatings, electrodeposition and powder coatings, radiation-cured coatings, industrial coatings, architectural coatings, marine and aerospace coatings, etc. Each chapter includes abundant references for further exploration, and all chapters have been reviewed and discussed by other experts in the field, representing the current level of international coating technology. The final chapter is an outlook on coating formulations, guiding readers in their efforts.
