UKSAF Summer Meeting 2016
Surfaces and interfaces define materials, by providing the connection between the material and its surroundings. The nature and behaviour of this connection is of increasing significance in the nanotechnology revolution, influencing research in virtually every area of industry, from semi-conductors to medical devices and pharmaceuticals. To address this growing importance, the theme of UKSAF 2016 is: “Novel Materials with Industrial Applications”.
The meeting will provide a platform for interaction and sharing knowledge between scientists from industry, academia and suppliers of equipment for surface analysis.
The conference will run from 9:00am to 4:30pm on Friday 8th July, in the William Jefferson Auditorim at University College Dublin.
