NATO Advanced Research Workshop
on
Nanostructured Films and Coatings
June 28 - 30, 1999
Santorini, Greece

This Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) will provide a critical, up-to-date
review on science and technology of nanostructured thick films and coatings.
Focus will be placed on the synthesis and processing; characterization and
properties (mechanical, biological, chemical, electronic and magnetic);
modeling of interlayer and interlayer interfaces; and applications. The ARW
aims to assess the status of this important high technology area and to
identify future directions of R&D and applications of nanostructured thick
films and coatings. Working group discussions will be held. Particular
emphasis is placed on developing close interactions and fostering future
collaborations among scientists and engineers from the NATO, Cooperation
Partner (CP) and other countries.
