About the Journal
Journal of Thin Films, Coating Science Technology and Application [2455-3344(e)] is a peer-reviewed open-access journal of engineering and scientific journals launched in 2014 focused on the rapid publication of fundamental research papers in all areas concerning the latest cutting–edge technologies in the field of coating technology, which is covered under the domain chemical.
Focus and Scope
- Elemental Coatings: In thin film coating science and technology, elements from the periodic table are used to create coatings with specific properties. The arrangement and bonding of electrons in these elements determine the film’s conductivity, optical transparency, and durability. Techniques like sputtering and chemical vapor deposition precisely control the film composition. Applications range from protective coatings on tools to anti-reflective layers on solar panels. Understanding the electron configuration is crucial for tailoring the coatings’ performance. Advances in this field enable the development of high-performance materials for electronics, energy, and medical devices.
