| Résumé : |
We are currently witnessing the appearance of a whole range of new technologies and concepts: bicontinuity, hyper-branching, ceramers, structured particles, hybrids, hydrosols, interpenetrating networks, polymer blends, liquid crystals, nanopigments, nanocapsules, nanocomposites, nanotechnology in general, phase separation, polymodality, self-assembling, smart coatings, self-repairing coatings, etc. They look so diverse that it is not always easy to recognize that a unifying principle is at the base of most of them. This is a uniquely interesting time for the coatings industry, not only as a result of the attractiveness of these new technologies but, rather, because what is really changing is the fundamental way in which problems are approached. A new paradigm and a whole new perspective are emerging. |
