March JCTR Focuses on Waterborne

Monday, March 17, 2014
The March 2014 issue of Journal of Coatings Technology and Research features some of the papers that were presented at the 40th Waterborne Symposium in New Orleans, La., sponsored by the University of Southern Mississippi’s School of Polymers and High Performance Materials.

According to Nichols, the continued interest in waterborne coatings is evidenced by the depth and breadth of the papers presented in the issue. As concerns about VOC emissions continue, it is expected that both academic and industrial researchers will remain focused on providing breakthroughs in the performance and properties of waterborne coatings
