Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal protection coatings play a pivotal role in various industries, particularly in the aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors, where the management of high temperatures is critical for enhancing performance and durability. This Special Issue aims to consolidate and highlight the latest advancements in the field of thermal protection coatings, exploring both fundamental research and practical applications. Recent developments in materials science have led to the emergence of innovative coating technologies that offer superior thermal resistance, reduced thermal conductivity, and enhanced mechanical properties. Researchers are increasingly focusing on advanced materials such as ceramics, metallic alloys, and composites, which provide improved performance under extreme conditions. The integration of nanotechnology has also opened new avenues for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of thermal barrier coatings, leading to significant improvements in thermal insulation and longevity.
This Special Issue will feature a collection of peer-reviewed articles that cover a broad spectrum of topics, including novel coating formulations, processing techniques, characterization methods, and performance evaluations. By bringing together leading researchers and industry experts, this Special Issue aims to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange, paving the way for future innovations in thermal protection coatings.

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.
