About this Research Topic
This Research Topic seeks to showcase publications dealing with the development and applications of techniques for the characterization and understanding of surfaces, interfaces, and nanostructures. We welcome original research articles as well as review articles with new findings related to the structures, properties, and technological applications of material surfaces and interfaces. We also welcome papers investigating theoretical aspects of these techniques and their applications to industrial problems.
Potential topics may include, but are not limited to:
• Surface functionalization and engineering
• Inorganic/organic nanostructures of hybrids and nanocomposites
• Surface science in catalysis, energy, and the environment
• Biosurfaces and biointerfaces
• Surface techniques and computational methods
• Machine learning approaches for the design, analysis, and optimization of material structures and properties
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
