Learning outcomes

After the course the student should be able to:

  • Describe a system for surface treatment regarding the components and their function
  • Discuss choice of substrate, pre-treatment and application for a given system
  • Discuss the importance of good wetting and suitable rheological properties for the surface treatment system
  • Explain the film formation in physically and chemically drying systems (oxidative drying, polyester-melamine, epoxy-alcohol, epoxy-amine, isocyanate-alcohol and irradiation curing).
  • Choice (and motivate the choice) of suitable surface treatment system for a given application
  • Explain the build-up, curing and function of a powder coating
  • Discuss the environmental effect of different surface treatment systems
  • Exemplify and motivate the use of polymers in thin films in some non-traditional surface treatment applications
  • Synthesize a polymer suitable as resin for organic coating
  • Cahracterize the uncured coating regarding chemical compositon and properties
  • Apply coatings on substrates
  • Follow the drying course with pendulum hardness measurements and IR spectroscopy
  • Evaluate the properties (adhesion, hardness etc) of the cured film.
