• Technical Seminar

**Lecture Summary** Dispersion-based coating films made from fine particles are used in applications such as painting, coating, printing, and the formation of functional thin films, making them important items in the chemical and mechanical industries. However, since most university curricula do not cover the fundamentals of these topics, it is common for practitioners to apply them in product development with unclear theoretical backgrounds through trial and error. This course will provide a clear explanation of the fundamentals of slurry preparation, coating, and drying in dispersion-based coating films, along with control methods, based on the theoretical foundations of rheology and powder engineering, integrated with applied technologies.
