Course Director(s):

KERMOUCHE Guillaume

General Description:

The Design of functionalised surfaces Unit aims to make students aware of the issues related to the functionalisation (design) of surfaces and the associated means to create value with lightweight and sustainable structures. This Unit has a direct link with the MANUTECH investment for the future programme, situated in the Saint-Etienne-Lyon region, structuring national research in the field of surface engineering.

Key words:

Physics and chemistry of surfaces and interfaces Coverings Surface treatment Tribology Lubrification Wear Surface texturing Structured surfaces Interfaces Wettability Manutech
