From the Back Cover

Used to manufacture products such as cars, appliances, packaging, electronics, plastics, buildings, fibers, ships, and aircraft; coatings can improve the performances and appearance of these products. In a world where polymers are a necessary component in a variety of industries, polymer coating science and technology is a rapidly growing field and has extensively developed over the past decades. Continuing research on designs and coating technologies through novel theories and technologies lead the way for better product performance and new high-performance materials.

Focusing on a variety of coatings, this book introduces principles and methods for the fabrication of functional polymer coatings. Each chapter provides detailed discussion on the preparation, properties, design theory, and applications. The book compares and contrasts various types of coatings to help determine the benefits and advantages of each. Although there are many articles and related books on the topic, this book’s compilation of broad aspects, novel technologies, and recent developments stands out as offering a comprehensive resource for polymer scientists.

Among the key features the book offers are:

• Inclusion of chapters on specific and novel coatings like nanocomposite, , surface wettability tunable, stimuli-responseive, anti-fouling, antibacterial, self-healing coatings, self-stratifying coatings, and structural coloring

• Detailed discussion on novel preparation principles and techniques, recent developments, and current and future perspectives

• Guidance for polymer and materials researchers in optimizing polymer coating properties and increasing product performance
