Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Amorphous and multielement coatings with high configurational entropy are a class of innovative coatings with multifunctional properties that may be applied in many fields such as thermal barriers, corrosion protection, biomedical devices, energy storage, impact absorption, etc. The interest in producing coatings from metallic glasses, high-entropy alloys, and some oxide glasses arises from the difficulty of processing these materials as functional bulk parts. In the last decade, there has been a lot of interest in the development of amorphous and high-entropy coatings as an alternative to bulk parts. Coatings are very useful to modify surface properties of materials on which they are applied; they can provide the properties of bulk glass or high-entropy alloy at the surface while allowing to keep the intrinsic properties of the substrate. In recent years, the thermal spray community has been one of the main sources of research in the field of amorphous and high-entropy alloys in the form of coatings. This may be attributed to the versatility of thermal spray processes and the proved capabilities of such processes for industrial production. This Special Issue is mainly focused on showing recent progress in the understanding of the deposition mechanisms, the evaluation of properties, and the development of applications of metallic glasses, oxide glasses, and high-entropy alloys obtained by thermal spray processes. Topics of interest may also include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Deposition strategies and powder precursors (synthesis and preparation).
- Simulation- and experiment-related work to gain understanding on deposition mechanisms and/or mechanical properties.
- Functional properties and characterization (in vitro, magnetic, electric, corrosion, wear, etc.).
- Review of current applications and future perspectives.
Thermal spray processes using glasses (metallic, oxide, or bioactive) and high-entropy powders, i.e., cold spray, plasma spray, HVOF, HVAF, flame spray, laser cladding, wire arc, etc.

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.
