Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a collection of selected articles on "Recent Progress in Thin Films and Coatings of Metallic Compounds”, which aims to publish research articles and comprehensive reviews on current experimental and theoretical results for these types of coatings. The primary goal of this Special Issue is to disseminate new findings and discuss future directions in the fields of thin films and coatings of metallic compounds.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not restricted to, the mechanical behavior, wear performance, corrosion behavior, process monitoring and control, phase structure, theoretical modeling, and high-throughput and industrial applications of think films and coatings of metallic compounds.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for inclusion in this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome for submission.
