Contents of this book include: organic film formers; pigments for paints; the physical chemistry of dispersions; coatings for buildings; automotive paints; the rheology of paints; durability testing. The work provides the needed bridge between academia and the applied science and technology of paints with special attention to the physics of paint and the physical chemistry of dispersions. The polymer chemistry of all common paint binders and the how and why of pigment selection are reviewed. -- AATA
