Berlin hosts coatings conference. (Meetings).European Coatings Conference--Smart Coatings II, sponsored by Vincentz Verlag KG, will be held June 16-17 at the Holiday Inn, Berlin--Esplanade, in Germany. This conference will present developments for novel coating systems that excel with unusual functionality or achieve high-performance functionality in highly innovative ways. Key coating technologies addressed will include materials for coatings with sensor and responsive properties, antimicrobial and easy-to-clean coatings, photocatalytic coating systems and their various uses, photo- and thermochromic coating materials, enzymatic antifouling an·ti·foul·ing adj. Counteracting or preventing the building up of deposits on underwater surfaces, such as the undersides of boats: antifouling paint. systems, electrically conductive coatings, uses of carbon nanotubes in coatings, molecular surface engineering techniques, easy-forming PTFE-like high-performance coatings and novel nanoscopic polymer coatings.
