Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Various analytical techniques are used for deposition and/or characterization of thin films and coatings. Depending on the area of application, the thickness of the deposited film or coating can vary from sub-nanometers in optical and electrochemical sensors to millimeters in corrosion protection and other industrial applications. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not restricted to) application of analytical techniques to thin films and coatings in:
- Chemical or physical modification of surfaces;
- Sensor development;
- Characterization of modified surfaces;
- Corrosion protection;
- Any other aspects of deposition/characterization of thin films and coatings.
