Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to showcase studies of materials and their surface treatments in technological innovation. Analyzing material structures at both microscopic and macroscopic scales helps us to understand their behaviors, guiding the selection of appropriate processes. Surface treatments, especially those applied to nanomaterials, optimize properties such as wear resistance, conductivity, and chemical stability, while maintaining material integrity.
Molecular sciences are critical in this context, as they enable the study of atomic and molecular interactions. This deeper understanding facilitates the design of more precise and effective surface treatments, further enhancing material performance. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advancements in material analysis and treatment, focusing on strategic fields like aerospace, automotion, nanotechnology, and renewable energy. By fostering innovative research, it seeks to address the growing industrial challenges of the future, pushing the boundaries of material performance and durability to meet evolving technological demands.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
