Following the introduction of legislation restricting the manufacture and use of coatings containing volatile organic solvents, alternative waterborne coatings are increasingly being adopted for adhesive, protective, and decorative applications. Better understanding is therefore sought of the behaviour of waterborne coatings during drying and film formation, and of their physical characteristics after film formation is complete.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
