Surface Analysis — Innovations and Solutions for Industry
Thursday 11th October 2018 | Ricoh Arena, Coventry, CV6 6GE
Introduction
What is on the surface? What is the composition?
This meeting is arranged with the intention of improving the knowledge of surface analysis techniques and the awareness and benefits for industry. Surface analysis is of particular importance for examining adhesion, composition, corrosion, coatings, contaminants, semiconductors, structures and tomography.
This meeting addresses all aspects of Surface Analysis with a special focus on challenges currently being addressed and recent improvements in technologies. The meeting will look at methods; XPS, SIMS, AES, AFM and other surface analysis equipment and instrumentation.
Partnering innovations with high tech industry: This meeting will enable delegates to discuss with leading experts what solutions there are to solve their real-world problem. What developments are needed? Emerging ideas…
