A Centre for Surface and Materials Analysis product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 21, 2008

Delegates are invited to bring in their materials and samples for an unbiased opinion and face-to-face discussions with industry experts.

The Centre for Surface and Materials Analysis (CSMA) will hold its annual surface analysis workshop on Thursday 23rd October at its headquarters in Stoke-on-Trent (UK).

This year's programme will focus on a wide range of critical surface analysis techniques and their applications to industries including medical devices, consumer healthcare, semiconductor devices, speciality glass, and displays and optics.

Delegates are invited to bring in their materials and samples for an unbiased opinion and face-to-face discussions with industry experts.

Interactive demonstrations will be performed using state-of-the-art equipment such as XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), 3DP (3D noncontact surface profiling), ToFSIMS (time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry) and DSIMS (dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry) depth profiling.

CSMA scientists will be available throughout the day to offer advice and assistance on any surface analysis issues.

Delegates will also have the opportunity to attend presentations, including theory and case studies, on quantitative surface analysis and chemical state mapping, surface topography and layer thickness measurement, molecular imaging of surfaces, and elemental composition of subsurface layers and interfaces.

The workshop will highlight how these techniques can investigate issues such as cleanliness, adhesion and disbondments, coating composition and uniformity as well as routine quality control in production, development and processing.

Dr Chris Pickles, Managing Director of CSMA, comments: "This is a great opportunity for delegates to understand the importance and benefits of surface analysis, including how such techniques can save money".

"Our experts have many years of experience across a diverse range of industries and are available throughout the day for free and confidential face-to-face discussions".

"We will also be showcasing the advantages of working with CSMA on contract projects, one-off analysis and collaborations, and our industry-leading capabilities".
