Advances in Multifunctional Polymer Coatings and Films: Exploring Innovations across Industries

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in a Special Issue on "Advances in Multifunctional Polymer Coatings and Films: Exploring Innovations Across Industries". We are interested in presenting the latest achievements and advancements in the field of polymer coating technologies, which possess various functions and properties.
In our Special Issue, we would like to focus on innovative approaches to the design, synthesis, and application of multifunctional polymer coatings and films. The aim is to showcase the latest trends in the field, including advancements in antibacterial, conductivity, corrosion resistance, self-healing, hydrophobicity, and many other properties.

We encourage the submission of scientific articles, reviews, and short communications covering various aspects of innovative polymer coatings and films. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• New methods of synthesis and the characterization of multifunctional polymer coatings;
• The application of modern nanotechnological techniques in the production of polymer coatings and films;
• The impact of additives on the properties of polymer coatings and films;
• The application of smart materials in the production of polymer coatings;
• Examples of innovative applications of polymer coatings in various fields, such as medicine, industry, or environmental protection.

Together, we can create valuable publications that will contribute to further development in this important scientific field.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
