PSE 2002

8th Iinternational Conference on Plasma Surface Engeneering

September 9 - 13, 2002 Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

Proceedings
The proceedings are published as Volumes 174-175 of the Journal "Surface and Coatings Technologies". The Proceedings will be sent to all full participants by mail (September/October 2003). The PSE 2002 was a big success with more than 630 participants. This biennial conference is a well established and important forum in the field of plasma and ion/particle beam assisted surface and thin film technology. An industrial exhibition is organized as a part of the conference. This is a good opportunity for companies to present their products and services.

The conference is organized by the European Joint Committee on Plasma and Ion Surface Engineering (EJC/PISE).
