Liquid film coating : scientific principles and their technological implications

Part I: Physics of coating processes: capillary hydrodynamics and interfacial phenomena wetting: static and dynamic contact lines surfactancy coating rheology setting, drying and curing: heat and mass transfer and phase behavior. Part II: Methods of investigating coating processes: experimental methods and flow visualization asymptotic methods of mathematical analysis computational methods. Part III: Theory and practice of coating processes: analysis and design of coating dies pre-metered coating processes self-metering coating processes free-meniscus coating processes elasto-hydrodynamic coating systems flow after coating analysis and design of drying equipment optimization and control of coating processes.
