Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plasma has a wide range of applications in coating and environmental treatment. Plasma technology can improve the adhesion, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and environmental friendliness of coatings by generating specific active functional groups. In addition, the active substances contained in the plasma can degrade and purify organic wastewater, remove volatile organic pollutants from the air, and play a role in disinfection in the food industry process.
This Special Issue, titled “Plasma Treatment for Coatings and Environmental Pollution Control”, will present prominent advances in technologies related to plasma, including material surface strengthening, material surface modification, function materials, environmental advanced oxidation techniques, and environmental catalysis technology.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Plasma coatings technology;
- Material surface strengthening and modification based on plasma;
- Material surface modification based on plasma;
- Plasma water treatment technology;
- Plasma air pollution prevention and control.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Yong Han
Guest Editor
