PACRIM S17: Multifunctional Coatings for Structural, Energy, and Environmental Applications

This symposium will provide an open forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners from around the world to discuss the latest advances in coating technologies, which can give totally new or markedly improved functions onto materials surfaces in terms of physical, mechanical, thermal, chemical, optical, electrical, electronic, and magnetic properties.

These functional coatings include thin film technologies such as PVD, CVD, and sol-gel methods, and thick film technologies such as thermal spray, suspension/solution precursor spray, cold spray, and aerosol deposition. Thermal and environmental barrier coatings for ceramic matrix composites, intermetallics and advanced superalloys to enhance the environmental stability and durability of aerospace, and land-based gas turbines are also of interest. Particular emphases are on the integration of multilayered coatings, component design, and performance through multi-scale modeling and experimental validation.

This symposium will identify current key issues, effective approaches, and future outlook for functional coating technologies and applications through comprehensive discussion on the following proposed topics.
