One hundred and six Participants from 21 countries met in Berlin on 16 and 17 June for the European Coatings Conference "Smart Coatings II", to hear about and discuss recent developments concerning organic coating systems that excel with some unusual functionality. Topics included responsive sensor coatings, thermochromic systems by means of polymeric pigments, novel functional additives such as enzymes, carbon nanotubes, or nano indium tin oxide, novel routes to high performance PTFE-like coatings, photocatalytic coatings for self-cleaning and antimicrobial applications, and the functionalisation of surfaces via innovative, polymeric nanolayer coatings. A limited number of the congress proceedings is still available.
