Thin Film & Coating Technologies for Science & Industry

Wednesday 9th October 2019

Meeting History: | 2018 | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | 2011

Introduction

Thin films are used in just about every aspect of our lives, from the optical anti­-scratch/anti-reflection lens on our spectacles to those out of sight coating applications in electronics, optical, photovoltaic and other high technology industries.

This one-day meeting will bring together scientists and technologists with expertise in the design, development, characterisation and production of thin film materials and integrated devices for a broad spectrum of scientific and industrial applications. The aim being to share knowledge, ideas and experiences.

The meeting comprises a programme of invited speakers and a poster session (which will be combined with other meetings for added interest). The programme will allow time for delegates to network with others and to visit the exhibition.
