The *Handbook of Surface Improvement and Modification*, 2nd Edition, examines chemical additives alongside surface modification processes that determine material surface properties. Released by ChemTec Publishing in 2023, this handbook offers systematic guidance on selecting appropriate additives to assist technical teams during product formulation for specific industrial and laboratory applications.

The volume structures surface modification concepts around distinct physical material behaviors and operational requirements. Dedicated chapters evaluate additive performance in improving scratch and mar resistance, controlling gloss enhancement, executing surface matting, and modifying surface tack through specialized tackifiers. Further sections examine fundamental surface tension characteristics alongside liquid wetting dynamics.

By connecting physical damage, surface protection, and property improvement mechanisms directly to empirical research data, the work supplies practical application examples. This structured material provides targeted technical support for specialists and academic practitioners working to alter surface characteristics during material development.
