Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coatings play an important and growing role in the industry, as well as in ordinary life. The purpose of applying coatings may be decorative, functional, or both. The coating itself may be an all-over coating, completely covering the substrate, or it may only cover parts of the substrate. An example of all of these types of coatings is a product label on many drinks bottles, where one side has an all-over functional coating (the adhesive) and the other side has one or more decorative coatings in an appropriate pattern (the printing) to form the words and images. It is expected that certain properties of coatings are required for processing their application. The present issue is supposed to present the recent achievements in the area of formulation on new cost-effective coatings with specific non-trivial properties (hardness, permeability, fluorescence, nanostructuring, durability). New ways of curing coatings are of special interest. We welcome publications on photopolymerization of coatings by UV-, VIS-, NIR-lights, the use of LED light sources. The evolution of the structure and molecular mobility of coatings upon cure is also in special focus.

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.
