Very good fundamental understanding of chemistry behind film defects. Appropriate level in general with a good balance of practical and fundamental understanding.

Excellent course! It gives a real understanding of the causes of the defects.
Francis M. , from SEPAD
It was good to see, how simple physical phenomena interact and how gradients are formed even with a homogeneous applied film
Bernd W. , from Rhein-Chemotechnik
This very good course covered fundamental concepts given during previous courses, but done so with more hands-on practical examples of how those concepts relate to defects.

Excellent technical content!

Good explanation of the physico-chemical phenomenas of different film defects.
Joel R. , from Folien Fischer AG
Jochum Beetsma gave very good link between defects and physical chemistry

This course connects experimental results and observations with the underlying physical science and principles governing coating defects. This is the best discussion of surface energy and surface wetting/dewetting that I have heard.
Chad K. , from Lexmark International
The course helped improve my understanding of the cause of coating defects, and has equiped me with the tools to analyse and resolve these problems.
Christopher J. , from International Paint/Akzonobel
I gained a better understanding of "cratering" vs "orange peel" I am looking forward to Part 2, to determine the difference between cratering vs. pinholes. and the difference between "hammer finish" vs. "orange peel".
Gerry G. , from Albany International
Gave a good insight into some relevant surface issues we are currently having.
