Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is known that superhydrophobic surfaces with corrosion resistance play important roles in many fields, such as in the textile industry, naval architecture, special materials, building protection, among others. The anti-corrosion property has been proven to be associated with many interface factors, including micro/nano hierarchical structures, surface energy, interface pinning effect, etc. Many interesting and exciting results and applications of anti-corrosion surfaces have been reported; however, more experimental phenomena/roles and theoretical mechanisms remain to be explored, which will facilitate further development of superhydrophobic modification technology. Inspired by this, we are compiling a Special Issue on ‘Superhydrophobic Surfaces for Anti-corrosion Applications’, to encourage researchers to present their novel research and results pertaining to this topic. We would like to cordially invite you to contribute to this Special Issue. The theme of this issue broadly includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(1) Synthesis of superhydrophobic organic/inorganic materials;
(2) Preparation of micro/nano hierarchical or biomimetic structures;
(3) Superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic applications;
(4) Anti-corrosion applications in industry, transportation, daily life, lab, etc.;
(5) Novel or special superhydrophobic modification;
(6) Surface energy control under macro/micro scale.

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.
