Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past two decades, polymeric surfaces and coatings have emerged as attractive materials for new structures, for example, in aerospace, automotive, decoration, and construction industries. The techniques associated with the technology, analysis, and design of high-performance coatings in these industries are continually being researched, and the progress achieved with this exciting material will continue at an ever-increasing rate to meet fast-growing global demands. This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in polymeric surfaces and coatings and covers all the related fields of studies. However, special attention will be paid to the following topics:
- Halogen-free organic–inorganic hybrid coatings;
- Interactions of multicomponent elements;
- New applications of hybrid coatings;
- Performance optimization of anti-aging coatings;
- Ceramic-like reactions of hybrid coatings;
- Low-carbon and cost-effective coatings.
This Special Issue invites research scientists, practicing engineers, asset managers, and regulatory bodies to promote their scientific and technical advancements of polymeric surfaces and coatings. Authors are welcome to submit their latest research in the form of original full articles, communications, or reviews on this topic.
Dr. Yachao Wang
