TACT 2021 is an important biennial event for knowledge exchange and interactive platform for researchers and engineers from academia and industry. TACT 2021 will cover a wide spectrum of aspects related to thin film, coating and plasma technologies for sustainable energy, semiconductor, optoelectronic, flexible device,  tribological, organic, biological, protective and functional coatings.

Selected papers will be published in the special issues of "Thin Solid Films" and "Surface and Coatings Technology


It is expected that there will be more than 700 abstract submissions including invited and contributed papers as well as poster presentations from domestic and abroad.

Due to COVID-19 situation, TACT 2021 conference will be held virtually. The virtual conference and SCI special issues will attract outstanding researchers to join us around the globe.

The TACT 2021 features seven important symposia and one short course, namely:
A. Coatings for sustainable energy 
B. Nanostructured and nanocomposite coatings 
C. Semiconductor, optoelectronic and flexible device films
D. Tribological and protective coatings 
E. Organic and biological coatings 
F. Metallic and high-entropy alloy coatings
G. Topical symposium: theory, simulation, and modeling; quantitative surface analysis

A group of internationally well-known scholars will be invited to deliver plenary, keynote and invited speeches in TACT 2021.


It is our pleasure to announce the TACT 2021 International Thin Films Conference. We cordially invite you to attend TACT2021 virtual conference. Hope to see you on line in November, 2021.
