This new book is a comprehensive guide to the practical use of rheology in quality control, production and application, chemical and mechanical engineering, materials science, and industrial research and development. Emphasis is placed on current test methods, and after reading this book, the reader should be able to perform tests with rotational and oscillatory rheometers and interpret the results correctly.  The Rheology Handbook is written for everyone approaching rheology without any prior knowledge, but is also useful for those wishing to update their expertise with information about recent developments. The numerous cross-references make connections clear and the detailed index helps when searching. There are over 100 figures, illustrations, tables and exercises for calculations.

This book teaches the science of coatings formulation in two steps. Each section describes the chemical composition of and, especially, the binders for the type of coating presented. This is followed by formulation advice and an analysis of existing recipes (e.g. starting formulations). This analysis consists in calculating the important characteristic values of coatings, such as the pigment/binder ratio, pigment volume concentration and, as necessary, the hardener addition level. Finally, examples of how to develop a real-life coating formulation are provided in the case of the most important types of coatings. All calculations based on recipes and formulations are worked through step by step and should therefore be intelligible to beginners as well. The skills acquired in dealing with these recipes can also be employed in other applications, such as adhesives and sealants. This book focuses on the coating formulation itself, and how to arrive at it. It seeks to familiarize laboratory assistants, engineers and chemists with the practice of formulating coatings. It will also serve as a reference work for all readers interested in paints and coatings.

Polyurethane chemistry is of great significance in many applications worldwide.  Moreover, their development potential has yet to be exhausted by any means.  New applications are being constantly identified and the product range will be further development.  This is a completely updated version of the book Polyurethanes for Coatings published in 1999.  It is extended by applications in adhesives as well as new operational areas.  It begins with an exploration of the principles of polyurethane chemistry, enabling the reader to understand the current significance of the many applications and special developments and their future perspectives.

The automobile industry and varnish manufacturers are expending considerable amounts of money to produce particularly appealing surfaces.  The main task of a lacquer is protection against corrosion, weathering and chemical and mechanical influences, as well as obtaining the appealing surface.  Different manufacturers specialize exclusively in automobile lacquers.  This book deals with the composition and the production of the different components and their physical characteristics as well as their application technology characteristics.  Therefore both the application behavior, the task of protection, and the corresponding appearance are covered in detail.

To conserve resources, protect the environment, and yet formulate high performance coatings at an acceptable cost: these challenges are readily met by high solids. Such systems are the epitome of high performance and low environmental impact. They are usually the best option where solvent-borne systems would otherwise be the only choice.  This book delivers comprehensive knowledge in the field of high solid systems. More especially, it provides an overview of the various classes of binders and ways of transforming them into high solid binders. It lists a broad range of options and approaches for tackling technological and environmental problems.

A properly formed film plays a vital role in the quality of coatings. This book provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of film formation, from application to coatings technology, including the underpinning scientific principles.  Mischke enables the reader to gain an understanding of all aspects of film formation: basic coating concepts, the scientific principles of film formation, and practical aspects of the application of coatings. This approach enables those without an advanced scientific background to fully understand the principles that underlie film formation. It also provides invaluable best-practice guidance in the formulation of perfect coatings that meet the highest standards of quality and durability.  Film Formation in Modern Paint Systems provides an essential guide for novices, students and professionals wanting to deepen their theoretical knowledge and practical understanding. It is also an invaluable reference for experts, providing troubleshooting and scientific information for a wide range of problems and challenges.  In addition to the fundamentals and techniques of film formation, this book covers the polymer and physico-chemical aspects of film formation in detail.  Mischke is one of Europe’s most active coatings educators, and his approach to this subject matter enables readers who lack an academic background in chemistry to understand the more specialized content of the later chapters without a prior background in academic science. Peter Mischke also offers a wealth of practical insights, techniques and rules-of-thumb derived from his extensive professional and training experience.Holistic overview on film formation covering all aspects from theoretical background to application.                   Extremely efficient access to the process of film formation.                   Institutional Credibility: Author is one of Europe`s most active coatings educators

People working in the industry are often confronted with the effects of rheology, the science of deformation and flow behavior. They look for appropiate literature and either find short brochures giving only a few details and contain little useful information or highly specialized books full of physical formulars and mathematical theories. There is a lack of literature between these two extremes. This book is intended to fill that gap. The pratical use of rheology is presented in the areas quality control, production and application, chemical and mechanical engineering, materials science, and industrial research and development. After reading this book, the reader should be able to perform tests with rotational and oscillatory theometers and interpret the results correctly. 
- describes the principles of rheology clearly, vividly and in practical terms - includes the rheology of additives in aqueous dispersions and surfactant systems - can serve as a great reference book as well as a textbook for studying the theory behind the methods
