The School of Polymers and High Performance Materials at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) held the 41st Annual International Waterborne, High-Solids and Powder Coatings Symposium February 25-28 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Waterborne Symposium is a technical forum for environmentally-friendly coatings technologies. Proceeds from the symposium are used by USM for various elements of academic program development including junior faculty development, graduate student stipends, equipment acquisition and maintenance, and especially scholarships for undergraduate students majoring in Polymer Science. Most of these students enter the coatings or related polymer industries upon graduation. These scholarships are key to USM’s efforts to recruit the highest-achieving students into their Polymer program.
This year’s event featured 41 papers organized into six sessions related to various aspects of surface coatings: opening, general, waterborne, additives, pigments and powder coatings.
