Surface phenomena play a decisive role in the behaviour of engineering parts; their
understanding and control are fundamental to the development of many advanced fields …

Measurement of surface topography plays an important role in manufacturing, being used
for both the control of manufacturing processes and for final product acceptance. These …

The paper describes the state-of-the-art in modeling and simulation of surface texture and
topography generation at micro and nano dimensional scales. Three main classes of …

In modern society, polymer‐based matte coatings have gained widespread attention for its
low gloss and exquisite texture characteristics, which are capable of providing soft‐light …

Recent advancements and some emerging trends in the methods and instruments used for
surface and near surface characterisation are presented, considering the measurement of …

Identification of an individual artist's touch on paintings is studied using surface metrology.
Paintings' topographies were measured using focus variation and stitching, creating 13× 13 …
