Course Objective

The aim of this course is to give information about the types and techniques of nano-scale coatings, to examine the factors affecting the properties of the coating film, and to give information about the purposes for which nano coatings are made. Problems encountered in nano-scale coatings and solution proposals will also be criticized. Scientific and technological studies in the field of nano coatings from past to present, innovative nano coatings and industrial applications of nanotechnology will be explained to students.
