APPLICATION OF LIGHT SCATTERING TO COATINGS - M...

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 application of these principles to paint formulation (with a focus on
TiO2 - the strongest scattering material available to paint formulators). The reader will be in
a position to formulate and reformulate paints for maximum cost effectiveness. Application of
Light Scattering to Coatings: A Users Guide is ideal for a range of professions working in
paint formulation and manufacturing. This book also: Distills difficult theories (light
scattering  paint formulation) into easy-to-understand concepts Adopts a qualitative
perspective  with minimal use of complex equations  making key scientific concepts accessible
to all paint formulators without a prerequisite of higher mathematics Offers an accessible
resource for formulators new to the field while maintaining a high degree of relevance to
experienced coating formulators Discusses the interplay between resin  TiO2 pigments  and paint
extenders with regard to paint performance and cost Presents an unbiased assessment of
opacifying potential of TiO2 alternatives Outlines strategies for minimizing overall costs of
paints.
