FC is a largely qualitative and descriptive book which makes it quiet readable. (Journal of Metals, July 20, 2008) The graphics are of high quality and this applies to the general appearance of the whole book. Impressive is the very comprehensive coverage of the relevant literature. (ChemPhysChem, 2008) ...Functional Coatings ist stattdessen eine eindrucksvolle Sammlung von Forschungsergebnissen zahlreicher Expertengruppen und somit ein ausgezeichnetes Nachschlagewerk fur Wissenschaftler, die sich fur dieses Gebiet interessieren. Die Themen sind dank des ausfuhrlichen Inhalts- und Sachwortverzeichnisses leicht zu finden. Fazit: Das Buch ist Interessierten an Hochschulen und in der Industrie sehr zu empfehlen.
