note = "Funding Information: The conference was sponsored by the Taiwanese National Science Council, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Economic Affairs; College of Engineering, National Cheng Kung University; Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National Dong Hwa University; Institute of Materials Science and Engineering, National Central University; and Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National Chiao Tung University and China Steel Co. of Taiwan. There were 6 symposia, including (A) Coatings for sustainable energy, (B) Nanostructured and nanocomposite coatings, (C) Optical, optoelectronic and dielectric coatings, (D) Tribological and protective coatings, (E) Biological coatings, and (F) General subjects related to thin films and coatings. More than 500 participants from15 countries attended TACT 2011 Conference, which opened with a keynote lecture (Optimizing Tribo-contact Performance Using Plasma-based Surface Engineering Processes) by Prof. Allan Matthews from Sheffield University, UK. It was then followed by more exciting lectures, invited talks, oral and poster presentations. In total, there were eight keynote speeches, 31 invited talks, and 260 oral and 523 poster presentations covering all aspects of surface and coatings technology for a wide variety of applications. TACT 2011 Conference also included an exhibition and a one-day short course entitled “Nano-Sized and-Structured Materials and Coatings” offered by Prof. Stan Veprek of Technical University Munich, Germany.
