The use of nanotechnology for enhanced coating performance has come to market for a number of applications. Such coatings cover the range from self-assembly of liquid coatings into multilayer coatings or patterned coating films, to use of various additives. The horizon for improved performance includes a full range of properties from the range of additive materials:  better gloss retention, scratch resistance, reduced crack propagation, better electrical conduction, enhanced color options, higher temperature performance, low dirt pickup, and antifoulant activity.  Approaches, enhancements, and drawbacks to use of various nanomaterials is discussed in this presentation. Nanotechnology should be viewed primarily as a tool in the formulator’s toolbox, to give improved performance, rather than a separate goal.
