Characterising Physical Properties of Coatings Michael Osterhold

This book is a printed compilation of nine key works with focus on physical characterisation of organic coatings (rheology, thermal analysis, surface structure, scratch/mar etc.) by Michael Osterhold and co-authors. The articles were originally published in reputable journals. Main topics are: Rheological characterisation of paint systemsCharacterisation of disperse systems Dynamic mechanical analysis of coatings Characterising the surface structure Surface tension and physical paint properties Characterising the scratch/mar resistance Weathering and physical properties Analysis of paint defects FTIR spectroscopy (real-time)
