Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Laser Nano Fabrication and Nano Deposition”. The improvement of advanced nano deposition is an eternal challenge for the synthesis of advanced structures and surfaces for a wide range of applications, from biomedical devices to energy storage, sensors, and photonic device fabrications. Laser processing is one of the most widely used techniques in manufacturing that has shown great potential as a nano fabrication methodology. When compared to other nano fabrication techniques, laser nano fabrication and deposition methods are less costly and offer high flexibility, high speed, and environment friendliness.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to address the recent developments in laser coatings, laser deposition, and characterization, highlighting their emerging applications in a wide range of applications.
In such a context, particular emphasis will be given to research developments in order to improve applications and the market extension of laser deposition.
In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Laser processing;
- Laser deposition;
- Ultrafast laser nano fabrication;
- Laser nano fabrication;
- Laser ablation;
- Nano ripple formation;
- Laser-based 3D fabrication.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
