The 30th edition - intended to cover progress on all aspects of surface modification techniques, from both the macroscopic and microscopic viewpoints - will be hosted by Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy), June 29th – July 1st, 2016.
The 30th International Conference on Surface Modification Technologies (SMT30) - organized on an annual basis - is aimed at fostering research on surface engineering, promoting related international cooperation among scientists and engineers and providing means for the public dissemination of the results from these efforts. This edition will be hosted by Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy), June 29th – July 1st, 2016.
SMT30 is intended to cover progress on all aspects of surface modification techniques, from both the macroscopic and microscopic viewpoints. The conference interest includes both industrial materials, e.g., metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, composites, and advanced materials and processes under development or used in particular applications.
It brings together users, producers and researchers, both engineers and scientists who have a common interest in various aspects of materials behaviour. The objective is to facilitate and encourage the exchange of knowledge and experience among different communities involved in using, improving, developing, assessing and conducting basic and applied research.
The Scientific Committee will evaluate the acceptance of abstracts and papers and will decide whether the paper will be presented as oral or poster, also considering the preference of the authors. Full papers will be published on the conference proceedings and published on-line in the conference website.
The official language of the conference is English: All abstracts, papers, presentations and posters must be in English.
Special sessions and a program for accompanying people are planned. In addition, the National Interuniversity Consortium of Materials Science and Technology (INSTM) supports 3 awards (€ 200.00 each) for the best presentations (oral/poster) by PhD students.
