Scope

The 4^th Symposium on Carbon Based Coatings (CBC 2016) will take place at the castle Seggau in Styria, Austria from May 30 – 31, 2016.

It is our pleasure to invite the European community involved with surface engineering and carbon based coatings to participate in this event. A special invitation is extended to students and young scientists engaged in the field of thin film technology.

The Symposium on Carbon Based Coatings will provide a platform for discussing recent achievements in the development, fabrication, characterization and application of diamond coatings, nano crystalline diamond films, different types of diamond-like carbon coatings (DLC), graphene-like films and 2D materials and other carbon based coatings among Austrian and international experts and interested parties.
