1) Basic terms: surface, interface, thin film

2) Surface wettability, surface energy, contact angle, the hysteresis of contact angles

3) Wettability regimes: Wenzel, Cassie-Baxter (lotus vs. rose petal effects and gecko state), superhydrophobic surfaces from hydrophilic materials, wettability of surfaces with open and closed pores, anti-icing protection of surfaces

4) Overview of methods of surface modification by chemically wet processes: chemical etching, application of Langmuir-Blodgett films and self-assembled monolayers (SAM), electrolytic processes of thin film deposition

5) Vacuum methods of surface modification: chemical etching, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and epitaxy, hot filament-initiated chemical deposition (iCVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD)

6) Plasma surface modification aimed at changing the structure and chemical composition of the surface: plasma etching and reactive ion etching, modification of inorganic and polymeric surfaces by low-pressure plasma and atmospheric pressure plasma, plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII)

7) Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of thin films, plasma polymerization for the deposition of hydrocarbon (diamond-like), fluorocarbon, organosilicon, nitrogen-, and oxygen-containing plasma polymers in the form of thin films and nanoparticles

8) Surface modification for biomedical applications
