The program of the Advanced Surface Engineering Division (SE) will cover a variety of topics focusing on the design, deposition, and engineering of surfaces for industrial applications. The program includes a poster session and three oral sessions, led by invited speakers who will highlight recent advances in fundamental and cutting-edge research in surface engineering. The session “Advanced Multi-Functional Thin Film Materials” will aim at encouraging presentations on ‘new’ materials (e.g., high-entropy alloys, MXenes, etc.) of interest to the surface engineering community. The revised session “Surface Engineering by Deposition of Protective Coatings” will facilitate discussions on conventional (e.g., vapor phase) and non-conventional (e.g., liquid or solution phase) methods for the growth of thin films, coatings, and modification of surfaces. It will also feature presentations on the design and development of advanced nanostructured coatings for achieving multifunctionality to be used in various environments, e.g. wear, erosion, corrosion, high temperature, etc. Studies focusing on the deep understanding of the relationship between process, structure, and properties of advanced coatings and modified surfaces are appreciated. The session “Mechanics and Tribology of Thin Films and Coatings” will highlight contributions on fundamental understanding and applied research aspects for thin film and coating mechanical and tribological properties. The contribution includes new and advanced surface characterization techniques, analysis and characterization of modified surfaces, and the interaction of the surfaces with the environment. The program invites contributors from academia and the industrial world that focus on current and future trends in surface engineering.
