Examines the mechanisms involved in the film formation process in waterborne coatings. Discusses the use of fluorescence decay, spectroscopy, neutron scattering, infrared spectroscopy, dielectric spectroscopy, and other instrumental methods to study the film formation process. Examines the relationship of the film formation process to the development of the mechanical properties and morphological structure of the film. Investigates the role of cross-linking in the development of film properties.
