This book discusses the diverse array of particles that are found in coatings from both a physical and a performance standpoint. It also describes the fundamentals of particle behavior and shows how these affect the performance and properties of their end-use applications. It consists of nineteen chapters, demonstrating the wide range of types of particles found in coatings as well as the diversity of the important attributes they hold. The authors also present a forward looking view of cu...

In diesem essential wird die Wichtigkeit des erfolgreichen Zusammenspiels von Unternehmenskultur und Agilität herausgearbeitet: Aktuelle Studien zeigen, dass agile Arbeitsweisen verstärkt in Unternehmen eingeführt werden; es jedoch auch Barrieren bei der Einführung gibt, die ihren Ursprung u.a. im Aufeinandertreffen unterschiedlicher Kulturen und Arbeitsweisen haben. Die Autor:innen gehen auf vier Herausforderungen detailliert ein, die sich auf die Fehler- & Lernkultur, die Angst vor Exper...

The book begins with the fundamentals of light scattering, first by individual particles, then by small groups of particles, and finally by the trillions of particles present in a real-life paint film. From there, Dr. Diebold focuses on application of these fundamentals to paint formulation. The scope includes both theory and practice with an emphasis on application (from both performance and cost standpoints). The book gives a clear understanding of light scattering principles and applica...
