Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We welcome contributions to the Special Issue on Advanced Ceramic Coatings and Applications for the journal Coatings (ISSN 2079-6412). Contributions should cover general aspects of this topic—for example, coating production concepts and the latest methods of application resulting in component life extension; modeling of coating failure mechanisms; efficacy of protection and coatings and coatings’ integrity; and evaluation of mechanical and thermal properties of coating materials. In summary, we invite papers that cover both practical activity and theoretical modeling.
All manuscripts will be peer reviewed, and those accepted will be published immediately online in an ongoing fashion in this Special Issue.
