Industry Profile

Surface Engineering and Coatings

Target researchers — Materials scientists and surface chemists specializing in physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, plasma spray, sol-gel coatings, anti-fouling surfaces, tribological coatings, and thin-film characterization

Surface engineering companies apply coatings, treatments, and thin-film processes to enhance wear resistance, corrosion protection, thermal stability, and optical performance of components. Academic materials science groups develop novel plasma-assisted and sol-gel coating processes that companies license for industrial scale-up.
