Paint and Coating Physics

Abstract

Paints and Coatings are ubiquitous with wide ranging applications in architectural and construction, aerospace, automotive, electronic, food, and the pharmaceutical industries. The manufacture and storage of paints, their application on a substrate, and the film formation process all involve fluid flow whose understanding and control is important for achieving the desired finish. Within this context, this special issue presents developments in advanced computational models, experiments, and analysis related to the various stages of paint formulation and their applications.
