This symposium focuses on cutting edge experimental, theoretical and manufacturing issues associated with advanced thin films and coatings deposition techniques and surface modification and functionalization processes. These processes allow the realisation of surfaces with enhanced properties and/or novel multi-functionality, thereby enabling them to meet present requirements and future challenges for more efficient, reliable, inexpensive and clean applications that serve the technological needs of our society. Of interest are materials systems based on oxide and non-oxide ceramics; new carbons; metal-ceramic, organic-ceramic and nano-composites; and hybrid and graded structures.
Focus will be on:
Focus will be on:
- Advances in deposition, surface modification, and nanostructuring techniques
- Refined characterization and properties at meso- to nanoscale
- Protective coatings aimed at improving the often combined, thermal, chemical and mechanical degradation of components in corroding, oxidizing and generally harsh environments.
- Tribological thin films and coatings used in, for example, cutting tool and machining, medical devices, electronic displays, hard disks, optical coatings.
- Smart and multifunctional thin films and coatings: self-cleaning, anti- microbial, anti-fouling, catalytic, electrically/magnetically/optically responsive, thermoelectrics, piezoelectrics.
- Multiscale materials and process modeling and simulation; data-base development for coatings
