Since TACT was established in December 1998, we are happy to celebrate her 19th birthday this year. This association has organized five international conferences so far, including Asia CVD 2005, TACT 2009, TACT 2011, and TACT 2013, and TACT 2015. TACT 2017 will be the sixth one. This TACT 2017 will be held from October 15 to 18, 2017 at National Dong Hwa University in Hualien, Taiwan.
As a continuity from 2009, 2011, 2013, and TACT 2015. TACT2017 is the fifth one in the row as the important biennial events for knowledge exchange and interactive platform for researchers and engineers from academia and industry. The TACT 2017 will cover a wide spectrum of aspects related to thin film and coating technologies for sustainable energy, semiconductor, optoelectronic, tribological, organic, biological, protective, and functional coatings. Special issues will be published in "Thin Solid Films" and "Surface and Coatings Technology“
