Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current development to reduce the failure and risk induced by tribological processes and maximize the applications of tribo-designs requires a systematic measurement and investigation, a promoted performance of current and novel tribo-systems, and a comprehensive integration of tribological theories, simulation, experiments, and analytical approaches and methodology.
Entering the Industry 4.0 era, design of tribo-systems meets unprecedented new challenges, and the revolutionary information technology and data science development is constantly expanding the boundary of current tribo-system design and analysis knowledge. Faced with these huge needs from both academia and industry, we are calling for submissions to this Special Issue as a platform to share the progress in tribo-systems and their next-generation design and analysis reformation.
The scope of this Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers in the following concepts:
- Novel tribometers for performance measurement of tribo-systems both ex situ and in situ.
- The improvement of current tribo-systems and development of novel tribo-systems facing extreme conditions (e.g., ultra-small scale, high temperature, high radiation, etc.).
- Tribo-informatics approach in tribology system design and analysis, e.g., machine learning approach in wear prediction, data-driven approach for mechanism identification.
- Computer modelling and simulation (particularly new algorithm) to accurately reproduce and predict the behaviour and processes in tribo-systems.
- Other new theory, methods and tools integrated for tribo-system design and development.

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.
