Silicon and Nanotechnology for Coatings

Description

New global challenges in terms of energy, economy, and the need for alternative sources of raw materials are raising various future issues for the field of coatings formulation. This is where silicone chemistry comes into play, offering exiting possibilities and novel properties for coatings systems.

Join the authors on their journey into a world of new raw materials that are sure to be adopted in the next generation of coatings: different types of silicon-based binders are clearly classified along with practical examples and real-life products. Their composition and chemical structures as well as their production and examples of their applications are explained in detail.

Step by step, the authors dive into the various areas of chemistry that make up silicon technology, such as glass, ceramics, nanotechnology, and sol-gel-technology.

Building on their first edition “Nanotechnology”, the authors pay particular attention to the field of nanoparticles, offering powerful opportunities to integrate new functions into innovative high-tech coatings.

Delve into this fusion of silicon chemistry and nanotechnology, unlocking innovative, high-tech coatings formulations that are poised to conquer entirely new application markets in the future.
