Surface engineering is a scientific discipline that focuses on the processes of producing surface layers and coatings with specific functionality but also on studying the phenomena accompanying them and achieving the desired performance.

Anti-reflective coatings, anti-corrosion coatings, abrasion-resistant coatings, adhesive tapes, waterproof materials, pressure-sensitive labels, or even scratch-and-sniff stickers are the results of research work in materials engineering.
