Surfaces and Coatings Technologies International conference

The event offers a great opportunity for scientists, researchers, and experts active in the field of surfaces and coatings science and technologies (Polymer, material and paint chemists, surface and interface scientists, formulators, designers and policy makers) from both academia and industry to present their newest research discoveries, share insights and exchange the latest ideas.

The conference provides an excellent opportunity for scientists from Europe and from all over the world to meet and discuss the latest advances in surfaces and coatings physics and chemistry, surface engineering/ modification, coatings deposition and functionalisation processes as well as the investigated properties and performances in related innovation fields such as heterogeneous catalysis, two-dimensional materials and graphene, bio-interfaces, nanoelectronics, bio-nanoscience, functional/energy materials, etc

The conference topics include:

Surface treatments and coatings deposition and functionalization processes
Cold and Thermal spraying (PVD, CVD, …), thermochemical, Electro- and electroless plating
Wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization,
Surfaces and coatings modelling and characterization
Interface and interaction science, adhesion and Adhesives
Surface nanoengineering, nano-coatings and Ultra-Thin Films
Graphene and carbon-based coatings/films
Multi-functional, composite/ hybrid, graded and multilayers coatings
Hydro-, ice- and oleophobic/philic surfaces
Smart surfaces and coatings, Self-healing, self-cleaning, … surfaces
Tribological coatings: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc)
Corrosion and oxidation resistance, Thermal protection and diffusion resistance,
Surface engineering/ coatings in sustainable energy, conversion, optical, electric, photovoltaic and magnetic applications
Biointerfaces, Biomedical/ Bioactive surfaces and coatings
In addition to the conference main sessions, the following symposia will run in parall
