Smart Coatings brings together scientists and technologists in the field of Smart and Functional Materials from around the globe, with a focus on the most recent advances in technology, processes, and products.
The overarching goal of Smart Coatings has been to provide a forum for scientific exchange and advanced learning, with an emphasis on "take-home implementation."
Since its inception nearly two decades ago, participants have found Smart Coatings inspiring, rewarding, and highly informative.
In 2023, Smart Coatings will be presented virtually via Zoom Video Communications.
Please join us at Smart Coatings 2023: the premier event for updates on the most recent emerging technologies and opportunities in coatings, functional materials, processes, and products — presented by world-renowned scientists and technologists.
