Description
Taylor and Francis Ltd Thin Film Coatings 1st Edition 2022 Hardbound by Mwema, Fredrick Madaraka
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. _x000D__x000D_This book:_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Explores a wide range and is not specific to material and method of deposition _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Demonstrates the application of thin film coatings in nearly all sectors, such as energy and anti-microbial applications_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Details the preparation and properties of hybrid and scalable (ultra) thin materials for advanced applications _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Provides detailed bibliometric analyses on applications of thin film coatings _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Discusses Industry 4.0 and 3D printing in thin film technology _x000D__x000D_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._x000D_ _x000D_
