Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to the 10th International Conference on Tribology in Manufacturing Processes & Advanced Surface Engineering (ICTMP2024), which will be held from 26–28 June 2024, in Alcoy, Spain.
It will serve as the primary platform on which to present the latest tribological research, including the latest advancements in tribology in manufacturing processes and joining techniques, such as advanced lubricants and lubrication techniques, surface engineering and coatings, friction, wear, and contact mechanics.
The conference topics related to coatings are as follows:
- Nanofluids and innovative lubricants;
- Bio-based lubricants and additives;
- Tribological performance of advanced lubrication systems;
- Lubricant formulation and characterization;
- Green lubrication technologies;
- Thin films and nanocoatings for wear and corrosion protection;
- Self-lubricating coatings and solid lubricants;
- Surface texturing and micro/nano-patterning;
- Surface modification techniques (plasma treatment, laser surface engineering);
- Surface characterization and analysis techniques;
- Creation of new functional surfaces;
- Tribochemistry and tribofilms;
- Surface fatigue and tribocorrosion;
- Tribological aspects of adhesive bonding and fastening;
- Joining techniques for advanced materials (composites, ceramics);
- Surface quality and post-processing of additive manufactured components;
- Cutting tool materials and coatings for improved tribological performance;
- Surface integrity and tribological aspects of machining processes.
The papers presented will be published in the proceedings of the conference. In addition, a Coatings Special Issue dedicated to ICTMP2024 will be open to the submission of selected outstanding papers.
We look forward to meeting you in Alcoy!

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).
