The SE Division program will cover state-of-the-art developments of techniques and processes for improving the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions and aggressive environments (wear-, oxidation-, corrosion-resistant, tribological surfaces). We are soliciting contributions on novel methods to tailor multifunctional properties, including quantum, electronic, magnetic, optical, and mechanical. Contributions on advanced characterization techniques of composition/nanostructure, properties, and performance as well as new surface engineering approaches for energy and materials efficiency are also highly welcome.
