ACA has announced the release of a special issue of Journal of Coatings Technology and Research. Published in July (Vol. 14, No. 4, 2017), the issue features papers from the 2016 Coatings Science International (COSI) Conference. During the months of August and September, these articles are open for access at the JCTR web page, https://www.springer.com/materials/surfaces+interfaces/journal/11998
Recognized for its high standard of scientific presentations, the COSI Conference attracts researchers and research managers active in the field of science and technology of coatings from academia and industry. In addition, polymer, material, and paint chemists, as well as surface and interface scientists, formulators, designers, and industry policy makers find the conference to be a valuable platform for the exchange of the latest developments in their disciplines on a highly scientific level.
The July issue of JCTR features 13 of the top papers presented at the 2016 event, held June 27–July 1, 2016 in Noordwijk, The Netherlands.
