INTRODUCTION
Paints (or coatings if used primarily for corrosion protection) are something that we are all familiar with, to some degree. Virtually everywhere one looks, paint can be seen: furniture, houses, automobiles, trucks, ships, airplanes, bridges, chemical plants, nuclear power plants-literally everywhere. Additionally, paint is used for a variety of purposes, for example in the house alone, paints can be used to provide an aesthetically appealing interior and a protective durable exterior, to provide mildew and add rot resistance to wood, to seal masonry from water, and to seal the substrate and improve sanitation and cleanup in such areas as the kitchen and bathroom.
