Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tribology and corrosion are critical fields in materials science, impacting the longevity and performance of engineering components in various industries. Tribological characterization involves studying friction, wear, and lubrication, while corrosion characterization focuses on the degradation of materials due to chemical reactions with their environment. Advanced materials and coatings are being developed to enhance the durability and functionality of components, making research in these areas increasingly important. Understanding and improving the tribological and corrosion properties of these materials is essential for advancing technology and ensuring the reliability of systems in demanding applications.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute a paper to a Special Issue of Coatings titled "Tribological and Corrosion Characterization in Advanced Materials and Coatings". We aim to gather a collection of at least 10 high-quality articles that provide significant insights into this research area. If this target is met, this Special Issue may also be published in book form, offering a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Novel materials and coatings for improved tribological performance;
- Corrosion-resistant materials and coatings;
- Advanced characterization techniques for tribology and corrosion;
- Mechanisms of wear and corrosion in advanced materials;
- Tribological and corrosion behavior of nanomaterials and composites;
- Surface engineering and modification techniques;
- Environmental effects on tribological and corrosion properties;
- Computational modeling and simulation of tribological and corrosion processes;
- Case studies and industrial applications of tribological and corrosion research.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Guoqing Wang from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China, for his time and effort in contributing to this Special Issue.

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.
