Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Advances in Radiation-Resistant or Laser-Resistant Coatings”. Future advances in radiation-resistant coatings will not only focus on high-tech industries like nuclear energy and aerospace but also expand into consumer and leisure applications, such as wearable electronics, outdoor gear, and space tourism equipment.
Key trends include the development of lightweight, flexible, and multifunctional coatings that can provide effective protection against UV, ionizing radiation, and environmental wear. Nanotechnology will play a central role, enabling ultra-thin coatings with high durability and self-healing capabilities, ideal for both industrial and leisure materials.
For example, advanced textiles used in smart clothing may incorporate such coatings to shield users from harmful radiation during long outdoor exposure or high-altitude sports.
Future coatings will likely combine aesthetic appeal with technical performance, making them suitable for both consumer use and extreme conditions.
In summary, radiation-resistant coatings are evolving beyond traditional fields, with future trends emphasizing lightweight, multifunctional, and wearable applications, bridging the gap between high-tech protection and everyday usability. The topics of interest for this Special Issue, in particular, include (but are not restricted to) the following:
- Innovative Materials;
- Damage Mitigation Mechanisms;
- Thermal and Optical Performance;
- Durability and Stability;
- Emerging Applications: Exploring uses in aerospace, defense, nuclear, and photonic systems.
