Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ceramic-based coatings have shown extensive application value in multiple fields due to their unique physical and chemical properties, especially in key industries such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, energy technology, and medical devices. The aim of this Special Issue is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of ceramic-based coatings and related materials.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not restricted to, the following:
- Chemical, physical, and technological properties of ceramic-based coatings and related materials;
- Problems and methods of preparation, manufacturing, and application of ceramic-based coatings and related materials;
- Experimental and processing high-performance coatings with exposure to high temperatures, high stress, and other extreme environment applications;
- Theoretical and computational modelling of surfaces and interfaces;
- Recent developments in ceramic-based coatings and related materials;
- Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques;
- Any other aspects of ceramic-based coatings and related materials.

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.
