The Tribology Book Series is well established as a major and seminal archival source for definitive books on the subject of classical tribology. The scope of the Series has been widened to include other facets of the now-recognised and expanding topic of Interface Engineering.

It is a great dream of practitioners of plasma polymerization to form a type A plasma polymer with desired functional groups on the surface. However, it is a dream because of the lack of understanding of basic principles involved in plasma polymerization. A simple plasma polymerization process cannot form a tight network with functional groups. This is where the interface engineering by means of LCVD becomes important. 

For LCVD interface engineering of composite materials, it is considered that the tight three-dimensional network is necessary because of the required structural integrity, i.e., type A plasma polymers are essential for LCVD interface engineering. Low-pressure plasma polymerization is considered ideal for such applications because of the mechanisms of polymerization or material formation. 

The proper execution of system approach interface engineering (SAIF) requires the understanding of fundamentals of the interface. Conversely, utilization of nanofilms of unique plasma polymers provided tools to investigate the fundamentals of interfaces, which were nearly impossible to examine otherwise. The use of LCVD in the interface engineering and the basic investigation of interface worked hand in hand to broaden the knowledge in this specific topical area. 

SAIE corrosion protection emphasizes the fact that the corrosion protection of a metal depends on the overall corrosion protective behavior of an entire system. If a plasma polymerization coating is changed, all factors must be optimized to yield the best result that can be attributed to the change. The essence of interface engineering lies in the tailoring of surfaces to facilitate the equilibration of surface states of different materials.

The alloy panels with various low-temperature plasma interface-engineered, primer-coated surfaces were evaluated by accelerated corrosion tests. Two kinds of accelerated corrosion tests were conducted on all the samples, including the two... 

Although low-pressure plasma treatment and plasma polymerization are the main tool of the interface engineering described in this book, SAIE does not necessarily require low-pressure plasma processes. Some excellent corrosion...
