Submit a ProposalBiobased and Environmentally Benign Coatings
 | Edited by Atul Tiwari, Anthony Galanis and Mark D. Soucek Copyright: 2016 | Status: Published ISBN: 9781119184928 | Hardcover | 332 pages Price: $195.00 USD  |
One Line Description
Provides a concise and in-depth information on the new coating technologies that are being developed using environmental-friendly chemicals and safer routes of synthesis.
Audience
The book will be of interest to readers from diverse backgrounds in chemistry, physics, biology, materials science, and chemical engineering. It can serve as a reference book for students and research scholars and as a unique guide for the industrial technologists.

Description
The development of biobased coatings is in its infancy and this is one of the first books to detail the properties, characterization, and synthesis of these new environmentally-friendly coatings materials.
The book is a collection of 14 chapters written by subject experts on various process parameters involved in the development of complex environmental benign high performance coatings. The first few chapters of this book describe the state-of-the-art technologies currently available. The conversion of soybean oil to polyvinyl ether and use of cerium and ferrite compounds in coatings are described in these chapters. Similarly, there is a dedicated chapter on the use of coatings and films on fruits and vegetables. The next few chapters include those that are meant for the developers who can learn the new concepts helping those formulating innovative products for commercial success. For example, the use of biobased epoxy to replace bis-phenol A-based epoxy resin in coatings is discussed in a separate chapter, followed by a chapter on silica-based sol-gel coatings. The use of fatty acid for the manufacturing of waterborne coatings is also discussed. Finally, the book draws attention to the various testing and evaluation parameters followed by new conceptual methods. The utilization of pharmaceutical inhibitors or recycled polymers in coatings is reviewed in detail along with nonisocyanate cured polyurethane coatings.
