Society for Coatings Technology has announced that a Wood Coatings Technology Conference, "Wood Coatings and Substrates," will be held on September September: see month. 29, 2006, on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Additionally, UNCG is home to a bevy of research institutes and centers including the Center for Applied Research, Center for Creating Writing in the Arts, Center for Global Business Education & Research, Center for Biotechnology, Genomics & Health Research, Center for Music Research and . The conference is being sponsored by the Piedmont Society, the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, and the Wood Coatings Research Group, Inc., High Point, NC. The conference will cover the basic chemistry, science, and technology behind the development, performance, and application of coatings, particularly wood coatings. Through presentations on basic theory and science information, the conference is intended to improve understanding of coatings science for the coatings chemist (jargon) chemist - (Cambridge) Someone who wastes computer time on number crunching when you'd far rather the computer were working out anagrams of your name or printing Snoopy calendars or running life patterns. May or may not refer to someone who actually studies chemistry. and technologist. Additional goals include helping to further advance the science of coatings and to provide a forum for discussion of new technologies and developments. "Wood Coatings and Substrates" will also help those unfamiliar with the coatings industry to see the potential merits and opportunities of choosing a career in a materials science materials science Study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by the material's composition and structure, both macroscopic and microscopic. field such as coatings or a related area.
