Symposium A-5: "Nanostructure Coating"

Scope
This symposium is aimed at developing advanced nano-coating process technology and design and control technology for nano-coating structures with the aid of theoretical and computer techniques, since the accurate control of structures such as nano-interfaces, nano-pores, and nano-particles is the key to state-of-the-art coating technology. The symposium will also focus on the development of fast, ultra-precise technology for the evaluation of properties and performance of coatings from the nano- to macro-levels.

Topics
* Novel Nano-Coating Processing Technology
* New Thermal Plasma Spray Processes, High-Speed PVD or CVD Processes
* Nano-Coating Functions, Structural Design and Control Techniques
* Low Heat Conduction, High Thermal Stability and Interface Properties
* Nano-Coating Performance Analysis and Evaluation Techniques
* Evaluation and Analysis of Nano-Coating Interfaces Using Computational Science
