Conference  /  April 27, 2022  -  April 29, 2022

Surfaces, Interfaces and Coatings Technologies International Conference

SICT 2022 offers scientists, researchers and experts in the field of surfaces and coatings science and technologies worldwide a forum to exchange ideas and present research results. SICT will focus on the latest advances in surfaces and coatings physics and chemistry, as well as related areas such as bio-interfaces, nanoelectronics, and many more.

Dr.-Ing. Ralf Bandorf is a member of the conference committee.

Conference topics include:

  • Surface treatments and coatings deposition and functionalization processes
  • Cold and thermal spraying, thermochemical, electro- and electroless plating
  • Wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization
  • Surfaces and coatings modelling and characterization
  • Interface and interaction science, adhesion, and adhesives
  • Surface nanoengineering, nano-coatings and ultra-thin films
  • Graphene and carbon-based coatings/films
  • Multi-functional, composite/ hybrid, graded and multilayers coatings
  • Hydro-, ice- and oleophobic/philic surfaces
  • Smart surfaces and coatings, self-healing, self-cleaning surfaces
  • Tribological coatings: friction performance, wear resistance (abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc)
  • Corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection and diffusion resistance,
  • Surface engineering/ coatings in sustainable energy, conversion, optical, electric, photovoltaic and magnetic applications
  • Bio-interfaces, biomedical / bioactive surfaces and coatings
