Coatings update: Scientific studies: part 1

Abstract

It is heartening to observe the large amount of basic research carried out around the world which has a bearing on the problems of the coatings industry. Some of the recent aspects of this work will be described here. At the same time the point can also be made that it is not well‐organized basic research. There are not, for example, basic co‐operative programmes between universities and industry whose objective is to solve some of the key problems with which the coatings industry is confronted. This is not to say that work of this sort does not go on. It is to say that this work does not go on in a way which can bring a number of forces together in the most efficient fashion.
