About the Nanosurfaces, Thin Films & Coatings Session
Surface functionality and thin-film performance are the central themes of this session at the World Nanotechnology Conference. Topics include surface functionalization, multilayer films, protective and anticorrosion coatings, antimicrobial and antifouling surfaces, nanotribology, wear and smart or self-healing coatings. Discussions will examine relationships between surface chemistry, nanoscale texture, interfaces and functional behavior. The scope spans different substrates and operating environments, connecting material design and deposition with adhesion, durability, performance testing and integration into scientific, medical and industrial applications.
Abstract Scope and Participation
Submissions are welcome on engineered surfaces, coating formulations, thin-film structures, surface analysis and application-specific evaluation. Research into friction, lubrication, degradation, repair mechanisms and long-term performance is encouraged alongside new functional concepts. Surface scientists, coating specialists, chemists, materials researchers, mechanical engineers, industrial professionals and students are invited to exchange findings across fundamental interface studies and applied surface engineering.
