Polymeric Coating Formulations is a course that provides a comprehensive overview of the basic principles of coatings science. Students will be introduced to concepts that will aid in understanding coatings needs, their manufacture, and performance. The course will provide a foundation on how to select the appropriate coatings components for the appropriate use, and the role of resins and polymers, pigments, solvents, and additives in a coatings formulation. Considerations for environmental and regulatory compliances will be presented. After completing Polymeric Coatings students will be equipped with a basic understanding of the following: A basic understanding of chemistry is recommended. Students will be assigned 5 homework assignments, and 1 final exam. Module 1 Introduction Module 2 Coating properties Module 3 Raw materials Module 5 High solids coatings Module 6 Water borne coatings Module 7 Powder coatings Module 8 Radiation cure coatings Module 9 Architectural coatings Module 10 Regulatory considerations Module 11 Next generation coatings This course is Instructor-led and delivered through our award-winning online Learning Management System.
