Title We’re only scratching the surface: why surface engineering matters, to our city, and beyond Degree of recognition National Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 20/06/19 Description As important as developing new materials is,
it is often the changes to the surface of an
existing material that achieves the greatest
benefits to performance. Surface engineering is about
modifying the surface of what lies beneath, to make it
perform better, last longer, or even achieve a different
function entirely. Surface coatings are no small
matter. Aeroplanes, for example, can’t take off without
protective coatings in their engines.Producer/Author Policy@Manchester URL documents.manchester.ac.uk/display.aspx?DocID=43196 Persons Allan Matthews
