2015 ICMCTF Conference & Exhibition International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films Sponsored by the Advanced Surface Engineering Division of AVS Conference Dates: April 20 - April 24, 2015 • Town & Country Hotel, San Diego, California The International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films (ICMCTF) is recognized as the premier international conference focused on thin-film deposition, characterization, and advanced surface engineering. It brings together scientists, engineers, and technologists from academia, government laboratories and industry, thereby merging cutting-edge research with real-world applications. ICMCTF 2015 will be organized in seven concurrent technical symposia and six topical symposia, addressing experimental, theoretical, and manufacturing issues associated with the development of new coating materials and processes, and evolving approaches to scale-up for commercial applications. The Town and Country Resort Hotel and Convention Center, located in sunny San Diego of Southern California, will be the official conference venue, providing a relaxed atmosphere for discussion and networking among the attendees. The conference opens with a Plenary Session on Monday at 8:00 a.m. presented by: Eric Chason, Professor of Engineering at Brown University, USA. "Connecting Residual Stress and Thin Film Growth Processes: Real-time Experiments and a Kinetic Model". Short courses and Focused Topic Sessions (FTS) will also be offered throughout the conference week. An extensive industrial equipment exhibition is featured in conjunction with the Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 21-22, 2015. The exhibition is open to the public, showcasing the latest in equipment, materials and services used for the deposition, monitoring, and characterization of coatings and thin films.
