Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional coating materials are a kind of material prepared by changing the chemical composition or organizational structure of the substrate surface through chemical and physical methods. This can replace the properties of the coated surface and make it have a special function. According to the action principle or performance, it can be divided into electrical functions (such as conductive coating, insulating coating, anti-static coating, radio wave absorption coating, etc.); magnetic functions (such as magnetic coating); light functions (such as luminescent coating, fluorescent coating, phosphorescent coating, camouflage coating, wave selective absorption coating, etc.); sound wave functions (such as damping coating); mechanical physical functions (such as thick film coating, lubricating coating, anti-slip coating, anti-condensation coating, anti-icing coating, atomic ash, etc.); thermal functions (such as heat-resistant coating, fireproof coating, temperature indicating coating, ablation coating, heat reflection coating ,etc.); among others. These materials have various new characteristics, such as conductivity, heat conduction, insulation, flame retardant, shading, antibacterial, acid and alkali resistance, blue light resistance, fingerprint resistance, dizziness resistance, scratch resistance, static electricity resistance, oil pollution prevention, and so on. Therefore, they are widely used in various industrial systems, including aerospace, automobile manufacturing, medical devices, and other fields.

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.
