Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit your work to a Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Innovative Surface and Materials”. The main objective is to highlight the recent progress in innovative coatings with a great impact on different industries, such as automobile, medical, and biomedical, in protecting cultural heritage artifacts and so on. These coatings must possess special properties, such as crystallinity, hydrophobicity, homogeneity, adherence, hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, etc. In order to modify, improve, or even add new functionalities to the characteristics of a surface, a film of innovative material will be deposited on that surface. Coatings can be synthesized by a wide range of deposition techniques such as layer by layer, spinning, spraying, or chemical vapor deposition, depending on the purpose for which they are made.

This Special Issue aims to publish original articles, critical reviews, as well as perspectives, from leading research in both academia and industry on all aspects related to recent advances in design, processing, and development of coatings and materials for various applications. Contributions on new concepts, characterizations, simulation, and behavior in nominal conditions of materials are also welcome.

To solve the problem of low detection accuracy of water supply pipeline internal wall damage, a random forest algorithm with simplified features and a slime mold optimization support vector machine detection method was proposed. Firstly, the color statistical characteristics, gray level co-occurrence matrix, and gray level run length matrix features of the pipeline image are extracted for multi-feature fusion. The contribution of the fused features is analyzed using the feature simplified random forest algorithm, and the feature set with the strongest feature expression ability is selected for classification and recognition. The global search ability of the slime mold optimization algorithm is used to find the optimal kernel function parameters and penalty factors of the support vector machine model. Finally, the optimal parameters are applied to support the vector machine model for classification prediction. The experimental results show that the recognition accuracy of the classification model proposed in this paper reaches 94.710% on the data sets of different corrosion forms on the inner wall of the pipeline. Compared with the traditional Support Vector Machines (SVM) classification model, the SVM model based on differential pollination optimization, the SVM model based on particle swarm optimization, and the back propagation (BP) neural network classification model, it is improved by 4.786%, 3.023%, 4.030%, and 0.503% respectively.

Means of eliminating water pollutants or transforming them into less hazardous compounds by green catalysis are desired. The current work was developed with the goal of discovering supports suited for laccase (Lc) immobilization. The effect of the chitosan (CS) molecular weight (Mw) or the polyacrylic acid (PAA) addition was evaluated in microsphere formulation and enzyme immobilization by ESEM, rheology, operational stability, and kinetics. As a practical application, the synthesized products were tested in the methyl red (MR) decomposition and the product identification was performed by high-resolution mass spectrometry. Depending on the required properties, the laccase activity profile (pH, temperature, storage, and Michaelis–Menten parameters) and rheological strength can be modulated by varying the molecular mass of CS or by adding PAA in the support formulation. The immobilized products having the best features regarding MR degradation and recycling abilities were the medium Mw CS microspheres and the system with low Mw CS complexed by PAA, respectively. The degradation mechanism of the dye was proposed accordingly with the identified products by mass spectroscopy. The findings emphasize the potential of the proposed immobilization products to be exploited as viable biocatalysts for dye-contaminated water. Full article
