2011 Technical Symposia

Call For Papers
Abstract Deadline: October 1, 2010
Manuscript Deadline: March 1, 2011

The ICMCTF is internationally recognized as a vibrant technical conference that integrates fundamental and applied research focused on thin film deposition, characterization, and advanced surface modification techniques. ICMCTF is the premier international meeting in the field promoting global exchange of information among scientists, technologists, and manufacturers.

The conference draws more than 700 attendees each year with multiple oral technical sessions and a well attended poster session which is a major component of the technical program.

The conference is organized in different technical symposia to address experimental, theoretical, and manufacturing issues associated with development of new coating materials and processes, dynamics of film growth, development of functional coatings, and evolving approaches to scale-up for commercial applications.

The seven concurrent symposia A through G on vacuum processing techniques address the topics described by the symposium titles below. There will be special topical symposia (TS1-TS5) on “Computational and Experimental Studies of Inorganic, organic and Hybrid Thin Films: An Atomistic View”, “Coatings and Materials for Fuel Cells and Batteries”, “Surface Engineering for Thermal Transport, Storage and Harvesting”, “Characterization: Linking Synthesis, Microstructure and Properties”, and “Energetic Materials and Micro-Structures for Nanomanufacturing”. Additional elements of the conference program include a two day exhibition of the latest in equipment, materials and services used for the deposition, monitoring and characterization of coatings and thin films.
