The Advanced Surface Engineering Division (SE) program will cover state-of-the-art developments of techniques and processes for improving the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions and aggressive environments (wear-, oxidation-, corrosion-resistant, tribological surfaces).
Areas of Interest: Advanced Surface Engineering is seeking contributions that further develop methods to tailor the multifunctional properties of surfaces, including electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, and mechanical. Other themes include:
- HiPIMS, Pulsed Plasmas, and Energetic Deposition
- High Entropy and Other Multi-Principal-Element Materials
- Tribology, Mechanical Properties, and Adhesion of Coatings and Engineered Surfaces
- Advanced Theoretical Approaches for Materials Discovery and Design
- Surface Engineering Solutions for Sustainable Development
Contributions on the use, optimization, and development of advanced characterization techniques for establishing structure-property-processing-performance relationships for coatings and thin films are also highly welcome.
