AMBER organises workshop to discuss novel approaches in engineered surfaces and thin films

30 August 2022

New Frontiers in Engineered Surfaces and Thin Films: Approaches & Application

25 27th October 2022

Selcuk University, Turkey

 

Organised by Trinity College Dublin/AMBER

Hosted by Selcuk University

Scope

EngSurf-Twin is a three-year Horizon 2020 project funded by the European Union Research and Innovation programme under the Grant Agreement number 952289. It is aimed to overcome some of the main challenges in engineered surfaces and films with adoption of functionalised nanostructured materials, functional metal oxide films and surfaces for technological applications and practices, especially concerning the engineered nano-assemblies, metal oxide nanostructure arrays, for advanced chemical sensors design and application. Surface chemistry and sub-surface phenomena have been played a crucial role in developing a host of modern technologies and represent a driving-force of current interdisciplinary approaches. The control of the surface, structure and morphology through advanced surface engineering and well controlled fabrication has rapidly expanded in line with the demand for emerging applications.

New Frontiers in Engineered Surfaces and Thin Films: Approaches & Application” is an interdisciplinary workshop and will gather internationally recognized speakers from Ireland Italy, Germany, Australia and United Kingdom’sUniversities and SMEs, aiming to outline and discuss various novel approaches for new frontiers in engineered surfaces and thin films.

“The meeting will focus non-exclusively on the following topics:

Two-photon 3D micro-nanoprinting
Plasmonic Nanoantennas
Nanotextured surfaces with superhydrophobic and antibacterial properties
Subwavelength nanostructures for antireflective surfaces
Surface nanobubbles for water treatment, agriculture and more
Nanomaterial for gas sensing
Industry trends in nanopatterned surfaces
Nanoimprint lithography
Nanofabrication by particle beams

Attendance and Registration

The workshop attendance is free and open to students and researchers interested in Engineered Surfaces and Films for Emerging Technologies.

Regular updates are available from https://engsurf-twin.eu/

This 3-days workshop is a hybrid event, and will take place on25-27th October 2022, in Selcuk University, Konya,  Turkey.Deadline for abstract submission and registration is 01.10. 2022.

Please submit your abstract and/or expression of interest to join the workshop to eng.surf.twin@gmail.com
