Synopsis

This volume entitled "Protective Coatings and Thin Films : Synthesis, Characterization and Applications" contains the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) held in Alvor, Portugal from May 30 to June 5, 1996. This NATO-ARW was an expert meeting on the surface protection and modification of solid materials subjected to interactions with the environment. The meeting attracted 10 key speakers, 40 contributing speakers and 3 observers from various countries. The existing knowledge and current status of the science and technology related to protective coatings and thin films were assessed through a series of oral presentations, key notes (titles underlined in the volume content) and contributed papers distributed over various sessions dealing with: (a) plasma-assisted physical and chemical vapor deposition processes to enhance wear and corrosion protection of materials, (b) low friction coatings operating in hostile environment (vacuum, space, extreme temperatures, . . . ), (c) polymer films for protection against mechanical damage and chemical attack, (d) characterization of the structure of films and correlations with mechanical properties, (e) wear and corrosion resistant thermal spray coatings, (f) functional gradient ceramic/metallic coatings produced by high energy laser beam and energetic deposition processes for high temperature applications, (g) protective coatings for optical systems, and (h) ion beam assisted deposition of coatings for protection of materials against aqueous corrosion.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This expertly written book offers a comprehensive survey of the latest advances in surface engineering, particular emphasis being placed on the functionality of protective coatings and the relationships between properties, performance and experimental parameters used for the deposition of films on a variety of substrates. Topics covered include protection against wear, erosion, corrosion, and friction, plasma assisted physical and chemical vapour deposition processes, low friction coatings operating in a hostile environment, polymer films for protection against mechanical damage and chemical attack, film structure characterization and correlations with mechanical properties, wear and corrosion resistant thermal spray coatings, functional gradient ceramic/metallic coatings produced with high energy laser beams, and energetic deposition processes for high temperature applications, protective coatings for optical systems, and ion beam assisted deposition for protection against aqueous corrosion. Fundamental, scientific, technical and economic aspects of both R&D and applications are dealt with in detail.
Audience: A handbook for engineers and scientists and an introduction for students in materials science and surface engineering.
