This important book will allow a better understanding of the principles underlying the technology of organic coatings and how to use them effectively in aggressive environments where high-performance is needed. It covers the types of organic coatings that are suitable for high-performance applications, surface preparation, application methods, failure and characterization, and case studies. The book will be invaluable for professional engineers in materials engineering, metallurgy, surface engineering, civil engineering and marine engineering. It will also benefit those interested in understanding how to select and use high performance organic coatings accurately for each application.
