Mattiello Award
The Joseph J. Mattiello Lecture was designed to recognize an individual
who has made outstanding contributions to science, technology, and
engineering related to the coatings industry. The lecturer will present
a paper on a phase of chemistry, engineering, human relationship,
or other discipline fundamental to paint, coatings, varnish, lacquer,
or related protective and decorative coatings. In order to be eligible
for this award, one must be nominated. Each candidate nomination
is judged based on the following criteria: technical accomplishment,
service to the coatings industry, product and/or technology available
to the industry, scope/impact, and presentation capability. This award
is presented annually at the American Coatings CONFERENCE and the
Coatings Tech Conference.

Mattiello Lecture
Application and Limitations of Current Understanding to Model Failure
Modes in Coatings
Prof. Stuart Croll,
Chair Coatings and Polymeric Materials,
North Dakota State University
This lecture will offer some ideas on
further research that might provide better
linkage between coating composition
and durability. Stochastic models
have provided some understanding of
how coating properties, such as gloss,
toughness, corrosion protection, etc.,
deteriorate in service and have also helped in understanding why
accelerated weathering has only a tenuous connection with natural
exposure. Using these models and making other observations,
for example of film formation and adhesion, has allowed better
identification of where knowledge is incomplete and where
assumptions and approximations must, otherwise, be inserted.
Discussion will include questions on film formation, network
degradation, surface topography, ionic transport, adhesion and the
fatigue properties of coatings.
Epoxy Coatings
Chair: Charles Nelson,
Lubrizol
Epoxy coatings are characterized by high
chemical resistance, excellent adhesion and
outstanding corrosion protection properties.
However, formulators are continuously
searching for performance improvement and
new applications. This session discusses
the latest developments for these systems
including new binder chemistries, a novel
toughening agent, novel curing agents for zero
to ultra-low VOC epoxy coatings and waterborne
systems for low VOC.
