ACSES workshop on Practical Surface Analysis is taking place on February 22 & 23, 2008. Please click here for details.

The University of Alberta Faculties of Engineering and Science are collaborating to develop an integrated facility for surface characterization and modification.

* * *

The facility will allow innovative research to build an established strengths in heterogenious catalysis, natural resource extraction, corrosion and wear, microfabrication and electronic materials.

* * *

New methods are being developed to control the physical, chemical and biological surface properties of materials. These will be central to many applications in resource extraction, petrochemicals, microelectronics, medical implants, pharmaceutical, and emerging micro- and nanotechnologies.

* * *

Our interdisciplinary team will synthesize, characterize, and test new surfaces in actual applications and devices.
