Invitation to the 4th Coatings and Interfaces Conference (CIC2025)
Dear Colleagues,
After the success of the past three virtual editions, we are thrilled to announce the 4th Coatings and Interfaces Conference (CIC2025)! The CIC has established itself as a leading platform for scientists and industry professionals to connect, share groundbreaking research and explore the ever-expanding potential of coatings and interface technologies that are freely available worldwide.
The impact of coatings and interfaces on various technological advancements is undeniable. From sustainable energy solutions and pollution control to cultural heritage preservation and healthcare innovations, this field is pivotal in addressing critical challenges in society and research.
CIC2025 promises to be an even more dynamic and stimulating event, bringing together leading actors in academia and industry. Participants will learn about leading research in the field and explore cutting-edge applications and methods. Our conference will foster innovative and timely collaborations in the following exciting fields:
- Plasma Coatings, Surfaces & Interfaces;
- Laser-Coating Technology: Deposition, Structuring and Cladding;
- Coatings and Thin Film Deposition;
- Corrosion, Erosion and the Tribological and Mechanical Aspects of Coatings;
- Novel Methods/Techniques for Coating Deposition and Characterization;
- Protective Coatings in Cultural Heritage, Conservation and Preservation;
- The Biomedical Application of Coatings.
The Coatings journal welcomes outstanding contributions to the Conference Special Issue with a 20% APC discount to all participants at the conference.
We look forward to your participation!
