Composite Coatings and Materials: Synthesis, Properties and Applications

This special issue belongs to the section “Surface Characterization, Deposition and Modification“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The formulation of composite materials is an important field of research around the world today. Composite materials include inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials. These materials are formulated by an amalgamate minimum of two or more materials which accommodate different properties. These materials have a vast field of appealing applications that encourage scientists to work on them. Due to their unique properties, such as their strength, liability, swiftness, and low cost, they are used as a promising candidate for reliable applications in various fields, such as biomedical, engineering, energy devices, wastewater treatment, and agriculture. Different types of composite materials have had a noticeable impact in these fields already, such as glass, plastic, and most promisingly, metal oxide nanoparticles.  

 

The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

  • Energy applications;
  • Catalysis;
  • Bio-engineering;
  • Biomedical application;
  • Bio-sensing;
  • Wastewater treatment.
