Proceedings of the International Symposium on [title], sponsored by the 21st Annual Meeting of the Fine Particle Society, and held in San Diego, August 1990. Twenty-one papers are organized within three broad categories: additives and water-based coating/ink systems, surface modifications and wettability, and ink/coating formulations and their characterization. The role of various additives to improve the performance and properties of water-based coatings with special reference to surface phenomena such as wettability, adhesion, surface energies, dispersion stability, particle size and size distribution are presented.
