Polyester and alkyd resins belong to the most diverse and important material classes of paint chemistry and their usage as binders has been established for a long time. This standard work goes into detail on the composition, structure and properties of these important binder groups and subjects previous findings in that field to a critical review. It shows different precise calculation approaches in modern coatings development, ways to formulate polyester and alkyd resins in experimental designs and how to vary them systematically. A practice- and future-oriented reference book that should not be missing in any laboratory!
