Many coatings are still solvent-based. In the introduction we will look at the purpose and the role of solvents in paints. We will discuss the solubility of binders using the Hansen Solubility Parameters and see several classes of solvents used in paints. A theory on the viscosity of resin solutions is treated and the practical consequences are discussed. Finally we will discuss properties and applications of solvents

The chemistry of pigment dispersants
Pigment dispersants are a very special class of resins. We will discuss the essential elements of pigment dispersants: anchoring groups, soluble chains and an architecture to connect the two. A few commercial pigment dispersants are discussed and we will look at the properties and applications of...
