In Chapter 7 we dealt with several physical–chemical aspects. In this chapter, we discuss the usual characterization methods for coating materials and coatings. These methods can be distinguished in chemical, morphological (this chapter), thermomechanical (Chapter 9), and rheological characterization (Chapter 10).
