Surface Science and Engineering

Physical, chemical phenomena that occur at the interface of solid liquid interfaces, gas, and vacuum and liquid gas interfaces.Some practical applications are classed as surface engineering. Surface engineering is stream that seeks to regulate or tailor the properties of a material’s surface.Technological applications of surface engineering principles are device technology, biomaterials, nanomaterials, aerospace and automotive-engineering all seeking to optimize surface properties (e.g. biocompatibility, corrosion and wear resistance)
