Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your work to a Special Issue on “Surface Modification and Surface Flashover Performance Enhancement”. With this Special Issue, we would like to offer a better understanding and showcase the best work of surface modification methods to improve the surface flashover performance of insulating materials.
Insulating materials are widely used in many industrial devices, including power transmission line, pulsed power system, spacecraft, etc. With the increase in voltage level and the demand for compact structures, the improvement of insulation properties of insulating materials is urgent. As one of the most common insulation failure types, surface flashover usually has a lower breakdown value compared with that of a gas gap with the same dimension, due to field distortion in triple junctions and/or surface charge accumulation. Surface flashover voltage has been verified to be closely related to the surface electrical properties of insulating materials, including surface resistance and surface flashover voltage, etc. Therefore, surface modification may provide a promising approach to improve the surface flashover performance of insulating materials.
In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to present original research papers, review articles or short communications on the latest developments in the field of surface modification and surface flashover performance enhancement that will foster the continuous development of insulating material application for the benefit, in the short and medium term, of the scientific community and also of the industrial sectors. In particular, the topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Novel design of the surface structure;
- Magnetron sputtering, irradiation, etc.;
- Direct fluorination, CVD coatings, etc.;
- Plasma surface modification (etching, deposition, PECVD, etc.);
- Novel material modification strategies;
- Surface flashover phenomena and related mechanisms involved with interface surface charges;
- Measurement technologies and simulations methods of interface surface charges;
- Correlation between surface modification and surface flashover performance;
- Simulation on surface modification for surface flashover enhancement.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
