Summary

Chemists working to improve paints and coatings require quick and reliable ways to gauge how the new products will age. The field has seen significant recent progress and this volume collects many of the new methods. It includes methods for characterizing outdoor and lab test chambers, related statistical methods, research on the chemistry and mechanics of failure, and current work on large data bases of experimental results. The book describes how to measure the environmental factors and the changes which occur in coatings, and then how to relate this information to cumulative damage models. It also discusses methods for risk management.
