The 33 papers contained in this volume were originally presented at the NATO Advanced
Workshop on Nanostructured Films and Coatings, held June 28-30, 1999 in Santorini, Greece.
Nanostructured films and coatings possess unique properties due to both size and interface effects. They find
many applications in areas such as electronics, catalysis, protection, data storage, optics, and sensors.
The focus of this book is on synthesis and processing; advanced characterization techniques;
properties (including mechanical, chemical, electronic, thermal, catalytic, and magnetic); modeling of
interlayer and interlayer interfaces; and applications.
From the Preface: “...Nanostructured films can be synthesized by vapor phase and solution
chemistry methods. Solution approach allows the complex and hidden surfaces to be coated since it does
not have the limitation of line-of-sight deposition as in the vapor methods. Vapor deposition such
as sputtering, chemical vapor condensation and solution chemistry such as sol-gel, electrodeposition
and electroless deposition were reviewed. Template-mediated approach was also discussed. Thick
coatings were prepared using thermal spraying of nanostructured powders. Increasing attention is given on
the use of liquid precursors for thermal spraying...”
Target Audience: All researchers and technologists concerned with nanostructured films and coatings.
