Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled “Corrosion and Coatings: Advances in Protection and Degradation Studies” is of paramount importance in the field of materials science and corrosion engineering. This subject, which encompasses both the study of coating corrosion and their degradation mechanisms, as well as the development and application of coatings to minimize corrosion, addresses major economic and technological challenges. Indeed, corrosion is a global problem that costs billions of dollars annually to industry and jeopardizes infrastructure safety. In a context where material durability and efficiency are crucial, understanding and mastering corrosion processes and developing innovative protective coatings are essential to extend equipment lifespan, reduce maintenance costs, and improve system reliability across various sectors such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and energy. This theme, which reflects current research interests and expertise in the field, also offers the opportunity to explore a wide range of contributions from different areas of corrosion science and coating technology, thus fostering interdisciplinarity and innovation in this critical area of material research.
Dr. Florence Lequien

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
