Pre CONGRESS Tutorial 3: Film Formation

Dr. Joe Keddie, University of Surrey, UK
Reader in the Department of Physics,




Monday, 30 March 2009
8.30 - 12.00 h

Room Stockholm

This tutorial will cover a review of the basic physics at work in heterophase film formation. Furthermore it will give an explanation of the mechanisms of film formation in waterborne coatings and their parameters, a discussion of how material (binder) properties translate into coatings performance properties in this process as well as the role and nature of additives in waterborne clearcoats. There will also be a discussion of the current challenges and limitations for waterborne clearcoat systems.
