Surfaces, Interfaces and Coatings Technologies International Conference
Venue: Hotel Bristol, Vienna, Austria
In the field of surfaces and coatings science and technologies, scientists, researchers, and experts (polymer, material, and paint chemists, surface and interface scientists, formulators, designers, and policy makers) from academia and industry have a great opportunity to share their latest findings, exchange ideas, and present their work at SICT.
In addition to discussing the most recent developments in surface engineering and modification, coatings deposition, and functionalization processes, the conference offers scientists from Europe and around the globe a great chance to network and exchange ideas on the properties and performances of related innovative fields like 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 (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
- Bio-interfaces, Biomedical/ Bioactive surfaces and coatings
