The current book series that the organizers have prepared is based on a past symposium held at the National Fall ACS Meeting, August 22-26, 2004, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This book will provide an additional forum for several speakers to present their latest results in coatings technology. The scope of this book covers all aspects of coatings: anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, specialty coatings and testing methods for coatings. The book would compliment several previous ACS book series based on coatings: ACS Symposium Series 689 "Organic Coatings for Corrosion Control," edited by Gordon P. Bierwagen, 1998 and ACS Symposium Series 843 "Electroactive Polymers for Corrosion Control," edited by Peter Zarras, John D. Stenger-Smith and Yen Wei, 2003 are targeted only to corrosion scientists and engineers. This symposium book the editors want to publish will reach a more diverse audience with topics that cover a wide variety of coating science. The primary market for this ACS symposium book is the polymer chemist and engineer. This ACS symposium book is focused on polymer synthesis, materials development, advanced applications for coatings and techniques for measuring a coatings performance in various environments. This book addresses current coating technologies geared for an organic-polymer chemist and chemical engineers perspective. The book would add to an academic, industrial or government laboratory inventory of coatings books. The secondary market that will benefit from this book is the paint industry. While normally the paint industry is more application orientated, this symposium series does cover several recent developments in coatings technology specifically geared toward the painting industry.
