Antimicrobial surface

An antimicrobial surface is coated by an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the ability of microorganisms to grow on the surface of a material.

See Surface modification and Antimicrobial surface

Chemistry

Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter.

See Surface modification and Chemistry

Chemistry: A European Journal

Chemistry: A European Journal is a weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers all areas of chemistry and related fields.

See Surface modification and Chemistry: A European Journal

Corrosion

Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable oxide.

See Surface modification and Corrosion

Creep (deformation)

In materials science, creep (sometimes called cold flow) is the tendency of a solid material to undergo slow deformation while subject to persistent mechanical stresses.

See Surface modification and Creep (deformation)

Electrical engineering

Electrical engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the study, design, and application of equipment, devices, and systems which use electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Surface modification and Electrical engineering are engineering disciplines.

See Surface modification and Electrical engineering

Environmental degradation

Environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as quality of air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems; habitat destruction; the extinction of wildlife; and pollution.

See Surface modification and Environmental degradation

Fatigue (material)

In materials science, fatigue is the initiation and propagation of cracks in a material due to cyclic loading.

See Surface modification and Fatigue (material)

Flame treatment

Flame treatment is the application of a gas flame to the surface of a material to improve adhesion.

See Surface modification and Flame treatment

Functional group

In organic chemistry, a functional group is a substituent or moiety in a molecule that causes the molecule's characteristic chemical reactions.

See Surface modification and Functional group

Materials science

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field of researching and discovering materials. Surface modification and materials science are engineering disciplines.

Semiconductor device fabrication

Semiconductor device fabrication is the process used to manufacture semiconductor devices, typically integrated circuits (ICs) such as computer processors, microcontrollers, and memory chips (such as NAND flash and DRAM).

See Surface modification and Semiconductor device fabrication

Solid

Solid is one of the four fundamental states of matter along with liquid, gas, and plasma.

See Surface modification and Solid

Surface energy

In surface science, surface energy (also interfacial free energy or surface free energy) quantifies the disruption of intermolecular bonds that occurs when a surface is created.

See Surface modification and Surface energy

Surface engineering

Surface engineering is the sub-discipline of materials science which deals with the surface of solid matter. Surface modification and surface engineering are engineering disciplines and materials science.

See Surface modification and Surface engineering

Surface finishing

Surface finishing is a broad range of industrial processes that alter the surface of a manufactured item to achieve a certain property.

See Surface modification and Surface finishing

Surface metrology

Surface metrology is the measurement of small-scale features on surfaces, and is a branch of metrology.

See Surface modification and Surface metrology

Surface modification of biomaterials with proteins

Biomaterials are materials that are used in contact with biological systems.

See Surface modification and Surface modification of biomaterials with proteins

Surface science

Surface science is the study of physical and chemical phenomena that occur at the interface of two phases, including solid–liquid interfaces, solid–gas interfaces, solid–vacuum interfaces, and liquid–gas interfaces.
