the relationship between coatings and environmental protection
and the regulations related to volatile organic compounds(VOC)released from solvent-borne coatings are reviewed.The research progress of several environmentally friendly coatings
such as emulsion architecture coatings
water-borne metal corrosion-resistant coatings
modern wood coatings
high solids content coatings
powder coatings and special functional coatings
are discussed in detail.Lastly
research and development of environmentally friendly coatings should be done in water-borne coatings
