Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion remains one of the most critical challenges in materials science, affecting the durability, safety, and performance of components across various industries, ranging from aerospace and automotive to infrastructure and biomedical engineering sectors. This Special Issue aims to cover recent advances in the understanding, characterization, and mitigation of surface corrosion in metals, alloys, and novel materials. We welcome the submission of papers that focus on innovative surface engineering techniques, smart coatings, nanomaterials, and environmentally friendly inhibitors that extend service life and reduce maintenance costs. We also seek contributions that explore the fundamental mechanisms of corrosion at micro- and nanoscale levels, supported by emerging characterization tools and simulation methods. By integrating experimental, theoretical, and industrial perspectives, this Special Issue aims to inspire new directions in corrosion science and surface protection strategies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Corrosion and Materials Degradation is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
