Science Today –
Coatings Tomorrow
Chair: Raymond Fernando,
California Polytechnic State University
A continuous source for innovations in coatings
technology is fundamental research in materials
science, particularly in polymer science. In this
special session globally renowned academic
scientists share their latest research results,
and present their visions on novel materials
and new applications. The development of
bioinspired coatings with smart properties
will be presented in this session as well as
biobased materials and coatings.

Testing, analysis and characterization of raw
materials and coatings are essential in the
development of industrial goods. This session
focuses on important studies on different
methods, including new technologies to
objectively describe the particle dispersion
in paints, a fundamental study of coating
performance during weathering as well as a
study on the influence of metal oxide particle
characteristics on functional properties of
coatings.

The environmental and economic benefits of EB
and UV curing underly the growing popularity
of this technology – the number of industrial
applications keeps expanding as radiation
curing coatings rapidly evolve into high-
performance products. The six papers of this
session present novel binders, additives and
methods around radiation curing including low-
migration photoinitiators as well as a new UV-
curable coating consisting of only one oligomer
and an initiator.
