Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we welcome original research papers and reviews focused on the complex relationships between the corrosion process and materials with and without coating, thin and thick films, surface, and interfaces in their environment. In extenso, we also accept toxicology (allergy mutagenicity, carcinogens, and sensitizers) subjects regarding these types of materials. Corrosion, generally defined as a degradation of a material or its properties, by chemical reaction with the environment, currently affects all areas of the economy, from integrated circuits to reinforced concrete bridges, and extends to a wide spectrum of industries. In terms of biomaterial applications, one of the major inconvenient aspects is the degradation, which occurs due to the material’s interaction with the human body or physiological fluids. Corrosion resistance can be considered a vital property for biomaterial components, and it is associated with the problem of metallic ion release, which can potentially be harmful for the human body. Allergic reactions to substances in products and devices, in both professional and private life, are a significant and growing health problem, affecting large parts of the population. Corrosion and toxicity continue to attract research attention, not only because of the highly negative impact on society, but also for their potential application in new and critical technologies.

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.
