Smart coatings sense and interact with their environment and have novel functions in addition to the traditional ones of protecting and decorating their substrates. Engineers, chemists, and other researchers discuss such topics as formulating and evaluating organic anti-bacterial coatings, the surface-catalyzed growth of polymer films that respond to pH, developing a removable conformal coating through the synthetic incorporation of Diels-Alder thermally reversible adducts into an epoxy resin, and oxidation resistive coatings at high temperatures for iron cores. No date or location is identified for the symposium that generated the papers. Distributed in the US by Oxford University Press.
