About This Event

This 1.5‑day lunch‑to‑lunch workshop explores diamond‑like carbon as a versatile, tailorable coating platform. We will show how DLC properties can be precisely adjusted for specific application needs while preserving low‑temperature processing and industrial scalability. With practical project examples, researchers, machine developers, and users from the field will discuss application areas, successful lab‑to‑fab transfer strategies, and emerging opportunities – demonstrating that diamond‑like carbon offers far more than exceptional hardness.
