The annual International Waterborne, High-Solids and Powder Coatings Symposium serves as a vital technical platform, primarily focusing on eco-friendly coating technologies. This symposium offers a stage for presenting research papers from academic, governmental, and industrial sectors, unveiling innovative findings across all facets of coatings.
Spanning five days, the event unites coatings experts, chemists, industry leaders, business owners, suppliers, students, and educators, fostering networking and the exchange of cutting-edge research and technology within the field of paints and coatings. Waterborne Symposium delivers educational and technical presentations, deepening our understanding of coating theory, science, production, and marketing, pushing the boundaries of coating performance beyond conventional expectations.
Notably, all proceeds from the symposium directly support various aspects of academic program development at USM. This includes nurturing junior faculty, sustaining graduate student stipends, procuring and maintaining equipment, and providing scholarships for undergraduates majoring in Polymer Science. These scholarships are pivotal in USM's mission to attract top-performing students to their polymer program, many of whom go on to excel in the coatings and related polymer industries upon graduation. Your support fuels this impactful initiative.
