Smartphone Coatings: Why They Matter for Protection & Performance

Smartphone Coatings on manufacturing processes involve surface engineered solutions at various levels. One fascinating example is the application of High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) technology in the production of the new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. HiPIMS is based on the use of specialized power supplies to generate a high-density plasma for Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes. This

Plasma-based coatings: insights and future

Mindfulness walking around a peaceful place always is a great opportunity to clear thoughts and think about enthralling topics. In my case some of my enthralling topics are tribology and surface engineering and how such branches of knowledge are impacting manufacturing processes for wellbeing in our society. Necessarily on top How are interacting surfaces under loading and moving between them?
