Dr.  Shelby F. Thames
Distinguished University Research Professor – Polymer Science
Course Purpose: To provide entry level chemists in the coatings industry an understanding of the principles involved in formulating coatings.

Course Description: Coatings manufacture is challenging in its complexity as the ingredient list could often contain more than ten items. Formulating a good coating requires a good understanding of the manufacturing technique as well as troubleshooting problems. This short course will seek to impart a comprehensive understanding of pigments, resins, solvents, additives, formulations principles, calculations, and manufacturing techniques applicable to the coatings industry.
