| Abstract Scope |
Surface topography controls the performance and reliability of surfaces in applications from automotive and aerospace to medical devices and consumer electronics. Yet too often our strategies to find the optimal surface finish rely on trial-and-error testing. While great strides have been made in the theory and simulation of roughness-dependent surface performance, it remains difficult to translate this into the design and control of real-world devices. First, I will discuss a recent special issue of MRS Bulletin entitled “The Materials Science and Mechanics of Rough Surfaces”, in which seventeen authors from around the world reviewed the cutting-edge science of surface engineering. Second, I will discuss recent efforts in my group to rationally control the adhesion of technology-relevant coatings. Specifically, I will discuss the use of polycrystalline diamond and other hard-carbon coatings, and also the use of nanoscale patterning to modify the adhesion of silicon in advanced electronics applications. |
