Publisher's Synopsis
These proceedings focus on the scientific issues related to surfaceengineering phenomena in synthesis, characterization, andapplication for a variety of materials. A multidisciplinarydiscussion on surface-related phenomena by which materialsperformance may be enhanced through engineered interface andsurface modification technologies, this volume covers such topicsas: PVD and CVD processes; nanostructured and nanoparticlessynthesis; thermal barrier coatings; biomedical coatings;functional coatings for electronic, optical, and magneticapplications; surface modification by plasma, ion, and laser beamtechniques; direct fabricated materials; coatings for space,automobile, and environmental industries; corrosion and oxidationresistance coatings; modeling; mechanical and tribologicalproperties; interface properties and adhesion; advanced surfaceinvestigation techniques; and ultrahard coatings.
