Department of Thin Films and Coatings has been established at the beginning of 2020 including two laboratories

  • Laboratory of nanomaterials and ion-plasma processes
  • Laboratory of vacuum-plasma coatings

 

The major activity of the department is research and development of new types of thin films and coatings obtained by methods of cathode-arc evaporation and magnetron spattering 

  • The activities of the department are the following
  • conduct research in the field of thin-film materials science
  • research of ion-plasma processes of  the deposition thin films and coatings in vacuum by physical methods
  • development of industrial technologies for depositing hardening, wear-resistant, antifriction, antireflection coatings, biocompatible and bacteriostatic coatings for mechanical engineering, metal- and woodworking tools, IR optics products, medical equipment and other industrial fields
  • creation of vacuum machines and vacuum devices for implementation of new technologies of coating deposition
