Special Issue Information
The scope of this Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers in the following areas:
- Theoretical and experimental research, knowledge, and new ideas in corrosion/wear-protective and -preventive coating mechanisms of metal and ceramic, or polymer coatings.
- Recent developments in surface modification and strengthening techniques for advanced multi-functional coatings.
- A new initiative aiming to improve the wear and corrosion resistances of the coatings and its engineering application.
- Coatings produced by different processes, including, but not limited to, additive manufacturing processes, thermal spray, sol–gel, laser processes, laser and plasma processing, CVD, and electrodeposition.
- Experiments and processing of high-performance advanced coatings with exposure to high temperatures, high stress, and other extreme environmental conditions.
- Understanding the degradation mechanisms of coatings through friction, wear, or other dynamic loading conditions and corrosion.
- The latest developments of test methods considering the interplay between mechanical, chemical, and electrochemical interactions and the ability to predict performance and reliability.
- Computer modelling and simulation to predict coating properties, performance, durability, and reliability in service environments.

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
