About
Simon Goutier is a leading figure in the field of thermal spray coatings, with a focused expertise on the intricate science of plasma spraying. His research bridges the gap between fundamental materials science and industrial application, particularly in understanding how individual splats—the molten droplets that form coatings—evolve into complex, high-performance layers. Goutier’s major contributions include synthesizing decades of progress in atmospheric plasma spraying, from early modeling efforts to modern in-situ measurement techniques and sensor development. His most-cited work, "Latest Researches Advances of Plasma Spraying: From Splat to Coating Formation" (2016), with 53 citations, provides a comprehensive roadmap of how splat behavior dictates final coating properties, a cornerstone for engineers designing durable thermal barrier coatings. His subsequent review (2017, 16 citations) further traces the evolution of the field since the 1960s, highlighting critical innovations in process control. Through these seminal reviews, Goutier has shaped how researchers and practitioners approach coating optimization, making him an authoritative voice in plasma spray technology and a key reference for students exploring advanced surface engineering.
