Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As you know, corrosion poses significant economic and safety challenges across industries, leading to material degradation and structural failures. Recent theoretical and experimental developments in multifunctional coatings covering metallic substrates are among the most exploited research systems in the field of corrosion science and engineering. High-performance anti-corrosion coatings can offer enhanced barrier properties, self-healing capabilities, and eco-friendly alternatives. The aim of this Special Issue is to publicize the current state of knowledge in the field of Advanced Anti-Corrosion Coatings and Materials. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Recent developments in multi-functional organic, inorganic, hybrid anti-corrosion coatings and materials.
- Computer modeling, simulation to predict coating properties, durability and reliability in service environments.
- Anti-corrosion coatings produced by different processes, including but not limited to additive manufacturing processes, thermal spray, laser and plasma processing, CVD, plating, etc.
- Design and preparation of self-healing coating for corrosion protection.
- Nanocomposite anti-corrosion coatings and materials.
- Preparation, characterization and application of functional filler for anti-corrosion coatings.
- Any other advanced aspects of anti-corrosion coatings and materials.
This Special Issue publishes original research papers and brief communications that report on the latest findings of research, together with review papers that systematize the remarkable points on the state of the art.
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.
