Organic and Polymeric Materials: Synthesis, Properties and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In both industrial production and daily life, coatings play very important roles, such as the realization of anti-corrosion, enhancing and weakening heat transfer, electromagnetic protection, surface hardening and many other functions. Among them, organic materials, which are mainly represented by polymer materials, have been widely used because of their advantages such as low cost, simple construction and easy regulation of properties. It has been an important development trend of polymer organic coatings to realize the high performance and many functions of coatings, by controlling the composition of the coating, such as adding new organic additives or nanomaterials. New synthesis strategies, new chemical compounds, new nanocomposites and new coating technologies, etc., are all in great demand.

Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit your original research to this Coatings Special Issue entitled “Organic and Polymeric Materials: Synthesis, Properties and Applications”. This Special Issue includes all aspects of research related to intumescent and organic or polymeric coatings, including theoretical and application-oriented papers, experimental and numerical studies, case studies and reviews.

We encourage you to send us manuscripts containing scientific findings within the broad field of coatings.

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.
