Nanocoatings: Principles and Practice: From Research to Production

A practical guide for designing and making commercial coatings to which nanoparticles are added, this volume shows how to create and recognize a nanocoating formulation with the correct functional properties. It illustrates how to make and apply a coating so that it actually works as designed. The book connects formulation and fabrication in ways conducive to the manufacture of marketable nanocoated products. Nanoparticles discussed include: metal oxides, quantum dots, CNTs, graphene, nanoclays, photoconductors and more. This book is accompanied by downloadable working spreadsheets of design formulas and coatings data.
