Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent climate changes and severe pollution in large urban and industrial areas are causing a detrimental impact on the corrosion resistance of many materials, thus requiring novel and innovative corrosion protection systems to adapt to these new conditions. Therefore, it is necessary that the research and development of advanced coatings encompasses surface and interface science and engineering, incorporating cutting-edge technologies and synthetic routes that account for coating composition, structure, permeability, biodegradation, mechanical resistance, and corrosion and chemical attacks. The aforementioned properties can be achieved by developing organic and/or inorganic coatings functionalized through nanostructured elements, with a high degree of enthalpy; click chemistry; coordination compounds; the design of soft matter for additive processing; liquid crystals; colloids; gels and foams; smart, sustainable, hybrid coatings, etc.
We would like to invite you to submit papers on topics related to organic and inorganic coatings, whose application is directed to the field of the energy; infrastructure; sustainability; water resources; transportation; chemistry; petrochemistry; mining; automotive, aerospace, naval, biomedical, and medical industries; additive manufacturing; metal–mechanical manufacturing; and cultural heritage, among others. We aim to explore new developments in this field to improve their corrosion and material performance according to the current conditions of climate change, which are exacerbating global warming and causing a high degree of environmental pollution and degradation.
This Special Issue aims to publish original research papers and critical reviews pertaining, but not limited, to bio-coatings, organic and inorganic coatings alloyed with compounds that provide a cathodic and/or anodic protection mechanism, thermal spray coatings, functionalized coatings, multifunctional coatings, sustainable coatings, smart coatings, self-healing coatings, etc. Reviews that establish an in-depth review of frontier issues in the broader area of coatings applied to energy, infrastructure, sustainability, transportation, naval, aerospace, and medical industries, water resources, cultural heritage, etc., are also welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
