Protective Thin Coatings and Functional Thin Films Technology: Two-Volume Set

This two-volume work captures advances in thin films and coatings, one focusing on protection and the other on functional applications. It highlights advances in the preparation, characterization, and applications of protective and functional micro-/nano-scaled films and coatings.

In recent years, films and coatings have been developed and applied in industries that have affected people’s lives in our current society. Films and coatings have also evolved from being single compound to multi-compound to multilayer and to finally being nanostructures and nanocomposites.

Protective Thin Coatings Technology Two-Volume Set captures recent developments and advances as a comprehensive and readable reference. It highlights the development and advances in the preparation, characterization, and applications of protective and functional micro-/nano-scaled films and coatings. It features various aspects of hard coatings, covering advanced sputtering technologies, structural characterizations and simulations as well as applications. It also presents technologies aimed at functionality used in nanoelectronics, solar selective absorbers, solid oxide fuel cells, piezo-applications, and sensors.

This two-volume set will benefit industry professionals and researchers working in areas related to semiconductor, optoelectronics, plasma technology, solid-state energy storages, and 5G, as well as advanced students studying electrical, mechanical, chemical, and materials engineering.
