Conclusion
No one can foretell the future. There are certainly many possibilities for improved resin design and many new ways to go about it. Some innovations will address problems we already know about, and others will meet challenges we cannot easily visualize. Overall, the prospects for long-range research in coatings appears excellent, but it is not clear that U.S. companies will commit the resources to retain overall leadership.
