The program of the Advanced Surface Engineering Division (SE) focuses on all topics related to engineering the properties and functionalities of surfaces of all kinds. Both fundamental scientific and application-oriented contributions presenting experimental and/or theoretical and computational results are included. The session “Vapor Deposition Technologies and New Trends in Surface Engineering” presents contributions aimed at understanding or further developing techniques and processes to alter the properties of surfaces or to synthesise thin films and coatings on surfaces of interest. The session will also highlight future trends in surface engineering and show how surface engineering can assist to solve real world problems in the industry. Topics focusing on the design and development of advanced nanostructured coatings for achieving multifunctionality to be used in various environment, e.g. wear, erosion, corrosion, high temperature, are covered by the session “Nanostructured and Multifunctional Thin Films and Coatings”. The session “Mechanical and Tribological properties/characterization of Thin Films and Coatings” highlights contributions on fundamental understanding and applied research aspects for thin film and coating mechanical and tribological properties. The contribution also includes new and advanced surface characterization techniques, analysis and characterization of modified surfaces, and the interaction of the surface with environment. The main focus of the overall program is on topics and contributions that show how surface engineering can assist to solve present-day and future problems. All invited lectures review and highlight the state-of-the art and latest findings in the respective topic. Academic, industry, and national laboratory scientists, technicians, and especially junior researchers and Ph.D. students from various disciplines and all countries contribute to our diverse and interesting technical program including three oral sessions and one poster session.
