9Thermal and Mechanical Characterization
In Chapter 7 we dealt with several physical–chemical aspects, while in Chapter 8 chemical and morphological characterization was treated. In this chapter we discuss the thermal and mechanical characterization methods for coating materials and coatings. The rheological aspects of the various materials involved in the coating process are discussed in Chapter 10. We have to state again, upfront, that any in‐depth discussion is out of the question. The purpose of the present as well as the previous chapter is therefore to make readers aware of possibilities of generally available techniques and methods.
