More than 50 years ago, Joseph J. Mattiello was a leader in the use of scientific principles to understand and improve decorative and protective coatings (see Appendix 1). In Mattiello's spirit of scientific innovation, progress is reviewed in establishment of relationships between structures of starting materials and physical properties of cured thermoset films. The effectiveness of coating scientists to adopt and adapt new concepts for use in coatings research is discussed. Under-utilized and remarkably simple methods for calculating crosslink density (XLD) of stoichiometric networks are presented. Use of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and solvent induced swelling ...
