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.
