The 4TU.Research Centre High-Tech Materials and the Materials Innovation Institute M2i organise a scientific workshop on Surfaces, Interfaces & Coatings.

This workshop will be organised as a series of online lectures on Thursday 22 October, Thursday 29 October, and Thursday 5 November (through Teams). Please mention the days you wish to participate upon registration (by email). We will send you a Team link a day before each meeting.

Every material, also if applied for its bulk properties, has a surface or at least an interface to another material, where numerous dynamic processes can take place, down to the smallest length scales. These processes can form a threat for the material (like corrosion), but can also be beneficial or even essential for its functionality (like heat exchange). Coatings, introducing new surfaces and interfaces, can form an effective means to improve the functionality and/or life time of materials. Understanding surfaces and interfaces forms an intricate and essential part of materials science in its quest to optimise understanding and application of materials.

This workshop aims to bring together scientists and industrial partners with interest and expertise in surfaces, interfaces and coatings throughout the different types of materials, techniques and processes for an exchange of ideas and observations.

If you are interested in attending this workshop, register by email. Also in case of questions, please contact Reina Boerrigter (Coordinator 4TU.HTM). Please indicate upon registration whether you will attend the whole series of only one or two days (and which days).
