The Society of Vacuum Coaters (SVC) is a non-profit, international, professional organisation for individuals who are involved in depositing films and coatings in vacuum or rarefied environments for surface engineering purposes.[4]
Vacuum coatings
[edit]Vacuum coatings are deposited by sputtering, vacuum deposition, ion plating, ion beam deposition, laser ablation, atomic layer deposition, or plasma arc techniques.[5][6]
Members
[edit]The SVC international membership includes scientists, engineers, and technologists from industry, academic, private, and national research institutes.
Activities
[edit]The SVC organises technical conferences, trade exhibitions, and educational programs for professionals and hosts an annual Technical Conference & Exhibition (TechCon).[7]
The SVC provides up-to-date information on coatings and surface modification by other techniques, including atmospheric plasmas, chemical vapour deposition, and printing.
The scope of applications includes functional coatings used in optics, architectural and vehicle glass industry, electronics, transportation industry, aerospace, industrial, decorative products, anti-counterfeiting, military, packaging and medical fields.
The SVC publishes Technical Conference Proceedings each year.[8] Reference volumes are available in print or online through the SVC website. In agreement, Elsevier publishes selected peer-reviewed papers from TechCon in the journal of Surface and Coating Technology. The SVC established the SVC Foundation in 2002 for scholarship and travel awards to TechCon for students.
