Thin Film Coatings: Properties, Deposition, and Applications discusses the holistic subject of conventional and emerging thin film technologies without bias to a specific technology based on the existing literature. It covers properties and delves into the various methods of thin film deposition, including the most recent techniques and a direction for future developments. It also discusses the cutting-edge applications of thin film coatings such as self-healing and smart coatings, biomedical, hybrid, and scalable thin films. Finally, the concept of Industry 4.0 in thin film coating technology is examined.
This book:
- Explores a wide range and is not specific to material and method of deposition
- Demonstrates the application of thin film coatings in nearly all sectors, such as energy and anti-microbial applications
- Details the preparation and properties of hybrid and scalable (ultra) thin materials for advanced applications
- Provides detailed bibliometric analyses on applications of thin film coatings
- Discusses Industry 4.0 and 3D printing in thin film technology
With its broad coverage, this comprehensive reference will appeal to a wide audience of materials scientists and engineers and others studying and developing advanced thin film technologies.
