The American Coatings Association (ACA), in partnership with Vincentz Network (VN), is seeking abstract submissions for research to be presented at the 2024 American Coatings Conference (ACC). This forum will take place from April 30 to May 2, 2024 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Ind., and is held concurrently with the American Coatings Show (ACS).

Previously unpublished technical research and pioneering innovations are being accepted for consideration, either as a session presentation (which requires a paper to be submitted beforehand), or as a poster (which does not require a paper). Papers will not be accepted if they have been previously presented or published elsewhere.

The broad areas of interest include the following:

  • Adhesives and sealants
  • Architectural coatings (interior and exterior)
  • Automotive coatings (OEM and refinish)
  • Bio-based coatings
  • Coatings production technology
  • Coatings on plastics
  • Digitalization
  • Epoxy coatings
  • Functional coatings
  • Grinding & dispersing
  • Industrial coatings
  • Measurement and testing
  • Printing inks
  • Polyurethane coatings
  • Protective coatings (marine and corrosion protection)
  • Radiation-cured coatings
  • Water-based coatings
  • Wood coatings

Abstracts are accepted online until October 2, 2023 at https://conference-service.com/American-Coatings-Conference-2024/.
