Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The theoretical and experimental investigations of corrosion inhibitors for metallic substrates are among the most widely used research systems in the field of corrosion science. These inhibitor molecules develop a protective layer to minimize metal corrosion, which prevents the metal from coming into direct contact with the corrosive media and, therefore, decreases the corrosion rate. They act on the metal surface by using an adsorption mechanism. The current state of knowledge on corrosion mechanisms leads to a strong demand for experimental, theoretical and modelling studies.
The aim of this Special Issue is to consolidate recent findings related to corrosion and the deterioration of materials, and to give the opportunity to researchers to publish their latest results to understand or solve the corrosion problems of materials using corrosion inhibitors complemented by theoretical approaches to explain the mechanism of inhibition. We invite the submission of high-quality original papers and critical reviews.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Corrosion fundamentals;
- Corrosion inhibition;
- Temperature effect;
- Adsorption isotherms;
- Surface characterization (SEM, EDX, AFM, etc.);
- DFT calculation;
- Monte Carlo simulation;
- Molecular dynamics simulation.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
