Main organizer
Fernando Lazaro Freire Jr - PUC-RJ (lazaro@vdg.fis.puc-rio.br)
Co-organizers
Carlos Alejando Figueroa - UCS (cafiguer@ucs.br)
Description
The aim of this symposium is to offer an overview on the frontiers of research, technology and applications of protective coatings, thin films and surface phenomena.
Theme
OAreas of particular interest will include, but will
not be limited to:
a)Nanostructured coatings, such as diamond-like carbon films, nanodiamond
films, multi-component systems based on transition metal nitrides or
oxides, hard nanocomposites and multi-functional nanolaminates, with a
wide range of applications (automotive and machinery industries, aerospace
industry, medical implants, decoration, electronic industry, etc).
b)Surface modifications induced by energetic techniques such as ion
implantation, laser treatment, plasma processing, etc.
c)Physical and chemical routes of synthesis with emphasis on emerging
techniques: hybrid sputtering/CVD techniques, highly ionized sputter
deposition, ion enhanced pulsed laser deposition, plasma-assisted chemical
vapor deposition, pulsed plasma, plasma-based ion implantation, activated
reactive evaporation, cathodic arc, etc.
d)Fundamentals of deposition processes, growth modeling, substrate/surface
effects, residual stresses.
Topics
- ultra-low friction coatings
- recent progress in nanoindentation
- superhard coatings
- new deposition techniques
- hydrophobic and hydrophilic coatings
- nanostructured coatings
