Letter from the Symposium Chairs
Dear Colleagues,
The ISCST Symposium provides a forum for researchers, with both academic and industrial perspectives
on coating applications, to discuss the latest developments in the application and solidification of
thin liquid films. The Symposium features contributions on both fundamental and applied research and
development from many experts in coating process science and technology. This forum is designed to provide
mechanisms for the exchange of information between academia and industry.
The 2010 Symposium will feature several special technical sessions in addition to the traditional sessions
on coating and drying fundamentals.
Prior to the symposium, the ISCST
will be hosting two short courses: Science & Technology of Coating and Drying Processes, September 11-12, which has been
totally revised with new presenters and materials; and, The Role of Modeling & Visualization in the Coating Process,
September 11. Outlines for these courses can be obtained from the symposium chair
We hope that you will participate in this event. Please visit our website www.iscst.org for up-to-date information on
the program.
Sincerely
Prof. Lorraine F. Francis and Dr. Blake Kolb

Who Should Attend
This Symposium is designed for coating engineers and scientists in both industry and academia. It will provide
both practical and fundamental understanding of the coating process as well as networking opportunities.
Past industrial participants have mainly come from the imaging, electronics, medical/life sciences,
metal coil coating, paper, printing, information storage, automobile, chemical, computer, and textile industries.
However, participants from other industries, in which coating is a key technology, will also benefit from this Symposium.

About the Symposium
This Symposium, with contributions from experts from Europe, Asia, and the Americas, is the premier event in the area of
liquid film coating and related process phenomena. The meeting provides a forum for discussion of recent advances in
understanding the processes of applying and solidifying thin liquid coatings. Both fundamental and applied papers
will be presented.
History of the Coating Science and
Technology Symposium and Past Events
The International Coating Science and Technology Symposium has emerged as the premier symposium in the area of liquid film coating and related process fundamentals and applications. The symposium provides a forum for discussion of recent advances in understanding the deposition, solidification, and performance of liquid films. It is the intent of this symposium to encourage contributions that report both fundamental and applied research, as well as provide a forum for information exchange between academic and industrial groups.
