Inspiration for your assignment

Suggested topics:
-Synthesis and characterisation of a new pigment for the coatingsindustry
-Synthesis and/or testing of a new binder chemistry for coatings applications
-Sustainable/Green alternatives to existing technologies in the paint industry
-Synthesis and characterization of a new additive (pref. dispersing agent)
-More fundamental topics like : Multiple scattering or advanced application of Kubelka Munk
-Characterisation of a historically used pigment (e.g. a natural pigment, and a synthetic alternative route)
-photochromic, thermochromic pigments or a new non-conventional pigment for paint
new effect pigment: diffraction pigments (diffraction gratings engineered on pigment particles)
-Carbon footprint studies on coatings
-Mechanism in an antocorrosive paint.
-Infrared reflective/transparent black pigments for lower energy consumption
 


 For this, spend some time searching journals or patents (the latter are harder to read). A couple of keywords entered in the search boxes with big publishers like ACS and Wiley will take you a long way.

Discuss your choice with me before the lecture of Monday May 20

Relevant journals which contain coating/pigment/colour related publications.:
