1 5.14.1 Introduction

Already in the year 15 000 b.c. human beings decorated their homes by painting the walls as testified by the discovery of the famous Lascaux Cave in France in 1940. The cave contains an impressive display of prehistoric wall paintings done with mineral pigments mixed with animal fat as a binder. After only 15 years opened to be visited by the public the cave had to be closed again because of microbial growth on the paintings. Algae of the genus Chlorococcales were favored to grow after visitors brought into the cave considerable amounts of soil and air pollution.

Today, the design i.e. the form as well as the surface is of utmost importance for the appearance of all man-made goods. Material and products are completely altered in all aspects by applying coatings. Surface coatings protect objects, provide functionality, prolong the life-span and maintain the value of assets. Coatings do not just protect materials but they are the key to beauty, charm, design and...
