Functional coatings and surface modifications revolutionized the whole industry. Examples are: hard face coating of tools, coatings for energy conversion, plating for electronics circuits, surface modification for microelectronic, reflective and absorptive deposits for optics, bio-compatible interfaces, nano-materials and more. The production of functional films and surfaces has technological and economical advantages to the coating and finishing industries. A roadmap was drawn for functional films and surface technologies, for the short and long-term years. The work analyses the demands for performance and products and analyses need for functional coatings and surfaces.
