Abstract
Added-value to the .component in relation to enhanced mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical or optoelectrical attribute, as well as fitness-for-purpose and the minimization of life costs, are the driving forces for the justification, rationale and adoption of Surface Engineering and Surface Sciences. In the absence of a clear rationale for Surface Engineering, embracing, of necessity, many areas of the physics and chemistry of materials, the degree of complexity increasingly required by coating by coatings or surface treatment certainly compels the establishment of a theoretical framework. Research is needecL not only to characterize and understand the functional behaviour of coating, but also at a more fundamental level involving the systematic application and testing of scientific principles with a view to creating entirely new types of surfaces with novel properties. It is within this framework that a number of small projects were under taken, acting as seed projects and also as a mean to identify our capacities to undertake a much larger project, that of the National Research Center in Surface Engineering and Metal Processing (SEMPREC), proposal conceived and written by Dr Norlidah Mohamed No or for the School of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering. The proposal was endorsed and accepted by Universiti Sains Malaysia for the gth Malaysia Plan.
