Subject description
The subject provides an overview of the various classifications of surface treatments used in materials science and engineering. Students will be introduced to fundamental surface phenomena and surface treatment processes in two streams, organic methods and inorganic methods. Organic methods will focus on surface pretreatment and characterization, paints and polymer … For more content click the Read More button below.
