| Scope |
Coatings, thin films, polymers and related materials continue to be an
innovative area in research and technology. Smart and novel materials
such as adaptive, responsive, bioactive, self-healing, photonics and
nanotechnology-based coatings are becoming the norms of the industry.
The objective of this symposium is to provide a forum to stimulate new
ideas, present and discuss fundamental and applied science of smart
coatings, identify critical problems, provide promising solutions, and
assess possible roadmaps.
The specific areas of interest include but are not limited to:
- development of novel coating methods,
- functional coating materials and methods, including coatings for structural, biological, electrical and other applications,
- microstructure development and characterization of coatings,
- non-destructive approaches for characterization of properties of coatings. |
