Informationen zum Autor Theodore Provder currently is Managing Director of Polymer & Coatings Consultants, LLC. He has been Director, Coatings Research Institute in the College of Technology at Eastern Michigan University (EMU) from 2001-2007.Jamil Baghdachi is professor in the polymers and coatings program in the College of Technology at Eastern Michigan University (EMU) since 1997 and the graduate program coordinator. Klappentext Smart Coatings have novel functions and sense and interact with their environment in addition to having the traditional functions of protecting and decorating surfaces. This volume focuses on bioactive coatings, nanotechnology based coatings and novel coatings. After an overview of the topic, the section on bioactive coatings deals with antibacterial, antifouling, fouling release coatings, and nanoporous bioactive smart coatings. The section on nanotechnology basedcoatings involves nanoparticle coatings, organic-inorganic nanocomposite coatings, effects of inorganic nanoparticles on automotive clear- coat properties, and nanostructured electro-optically active smart coatings. The section on novel coatings includes biocatalytic coatings, superhydrophobiccoatings, intelligent corrosion protection by conducting polymers, and electrochemical protection of steel and aluminum coatings.
