Colour matching with your pen

Wednesday June, 4th 2014

We are leaving the absorption and scatter process behind us (Color) and now move into using the light's energy. We will deal briefly with a general view at all the possible fates of excited states, and then with photosynthesis and photovoltaics:

7. fates of excited states

8. Photosynthesis

9. Photovoltaics

Wednesday 28 may 2014

We continue to talk about Colour Measurement (slides last week), Also we will see what this implies when you want to do Colour Matching
slides 6b Colour Matching

If we have time left we continue with some extra notes on spectroscopy

Wednesday 21-5-2014

We will continue to quanity colour, looking at spectroscopic techniques, color spaces, and color calculations:
Lecture 6

and some more general spectroscopic techniques:

Lecture 7

A number of great videos explaining the perception of colour, and the workings of the visual system

Wednesday 14 May

We continue today with light, colour and vision
(see slides last week)

And we will also take a closer look at the photochemistry of vision:

Wednesday May 7 2014

We finish the pigment story by looking at the dispersion process (3d last week)

Also we need an intermezzo with some more photophysical details:

Then we will make a start with Light, colour, vision:

Pigments through the Ages

Synthesis of aniline black

Preparation for April 30th lecture

Now that we have seen the interaction of light with (pigmented) surfaces we take a deeper look into the pigments.
We will surely not cover all slides in full depth, but it may be handy to have the full story retreivable in 4 sets of slides

Optical properties of surfaces, pigments, molecules (part I)

We take a first approach by looking at optical processes relevant for paint surfaces

Here are the slides for 23/04/2014

We are moving into the optical (other than color) and properties of coatings.
For this we switch to another book:https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1ZYOqb0LuqyYWtCTDZPQlJsckE/edit?usp=sharing
PAINT AND SURFACECOATINGS Theory and Practice 2nd ed.by R LAMBOURNE and T A STRIVENS
My lecture(s) will be based on parts of Chapter 16, 17, 18 and 19

Program Wed April 9: Coatings

The first part will be a general introduction about coatings, which was the part I did not finish of last weeks introductory slides:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_AdLmUQhTCYWGQ3Q1paT1VzT3M/edit?usp=sharing

A very good introductory chapter about coatings is the first chapter of Goldschmidt and Streitberger:

After that we will dive in deeper,
looking at rheology (basics), binder chemistry and filmformation







More detailed slides on binder chemistry (not treated in the lecture, but for the interested):

Lecture April 2nd

2014!

Welcome for the new round of this exhillerating course.
I will use this blog to post the slides (please make sure you check the latest version here. There will be slight modifications to last year's slides
I also will post interesting links and movies here, and you can get access to electronic versions of the books we are using.

I wish you good luck for the course

Here is the program:

The books....

These will be our relevant books for the upcoming weeks.
