This book was released on 1996-05-04 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains three keynote presentations, given by experts in the field of experimental methods, rheology and the modeling of coating dies. Included also are 40 contributions drawn from the following areas of coating research and application: instability and coating defects; surface treatment; spreading and leveling; experimental investigations; surface tension and gravity driven flows; roll and gravure coating; rheological effects in coating processes.As such, these proceedings should prove a valuable resource for both researchers and coating practitioners.
