Topic Close-up #8

SYMPOSIUM C06: Metallic, Organic and Composite Coatings for Corrosion Protection

FOCUSED ON all aspects of corrosion protection by coatings. Coating systems of interest include organic coatings, organic-inorganic hybrid coatings, corrosion protective compounds to be used in organic coatings, novel pretreatments, and metallic coatings, such as novel galvanic zinc alloy coatings and novel coatings applied by PVD or CVD processes. A special focus is on smart coatings and coatings capable of self-repair or self–healing. Also advanced characterization techniques and new approaches for accelerated corrosion testing of coatings will be covered.

FEATURING a number of outstanding invited speakers from industry and academia and in expectation of many high level contributions from all over the world, this symposium will provide an excellent platform for intense scientific discourse on cutting edge research in the field of coatings. Learn about all the topics!

Topic Close-up #4

SYMPOSIUM C04: Pits & Pores 7: Nanomaterials – Fabrication Processes, Properties, and Applications

FOCUSED ON The symposium is focused on recent developments in nanostructured semiconductors, metals and nanocomposite systems. A more detailed understanding of etching and growth mechanisms, and the physical and chemical properties of all types of porous structures is emphasized. It integrates diverse research in different fields such as localized metal corrosion, semiconductor electrochemistry, deposition into pores, matrix materials and optical spectroscopy in order to develop a highly transdisciplinary approach to the topic. Emphasis will be on pit and pore formation, porous-structure/surface-property relations, work relevant to the formation of advanced materials and their characterization, and applications of these materials in different areas of science. The symposium brings together scientists from various research fields such as materials science, electrochemistry, physics, chemistry, engineering and biology.
