Scope of Symposium
Surface Engineering is a well established technology area in scientific and industrial landscape. The technologies encompass a set of modification processes, at surface level, in order to provide components and materials with new functionalities, enhanced performance, or new and unique appearances. Surface modification techniques gather a group of experimental approaches, from conventional protective plating up to complex deposition or functionalization procedures in fields as diverse as automotive, aerospace, microelectronics, Nuclear, biomedicine and households. Surface engineering, the primary enabling technology has a fair share in semiconductor process and package development and Asia-Pacific region continues to play a major role in new product development.
This comprehensive one day workshop enables the participants to understand and appreciate the advantages and limitations of various surface engineering methodologies and a real world applications from practitioner’s perspective.
