The SE Division 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). We are soliciting contributions on novel methods to tailor multifunctional properties, including quantum, electronic, magnetic, optical, and mechanical. Contributions on advanced characterization techniques of composition/nanostructure, properties, and performance, as well as new surface engineering approaches for energy and materials efficiency, are also highly welcome.
Areas of Interest: SE is soliciting contributions in the following topics:
- Tribological Applications
- Wear-Resistant Coatings for Mechanical Components
- Friction-Reducing Coatings
- Lubricating Coatings
- Corrosion Protection
- Corrosion-Resistant Coatings for Metals and Alloys
- Protective Coatings for Marine Applications
- Optical Applications
- Optical Coatings for Lasers and Other Optical Devices
- Anti-Reflective Coatings
- Energy Applications
- Fuel Cell Electrodes
- Solar Cell Coatings
- Thermal Barrier Coatings
