Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-performance coatings have attracted attention from both academia and industry. It has wide applications in the fields such as energy, biomedical, environment, and electronics. The synthesis of high-performance coating is one of the important topics in coating research. As conventional coating techniques suffer from high-cost and complex system setups, long processing times, and scale-up difficulties, advanced synthesis techniques which can produce a uniform coating with low cost, simple system, and short time are desired.
This Special Issue aims to cover the recent progress of coating synthesis technology and newly synthesized high-performance coatings. In this Special Issue, we would like to discuss topics, including the improvement of conventional coating techniques (such as solution-based and vapor-based techniques), the fabrication of new high-performance coating, the preparation of multifunctional coating, and advances in coating characterization techniques. We also welcome the manuscript discussing nanostructure fabrication with advanced coating methods. As the high-performance coating and its preparation technique are applied in various areas, this Special Issue will have a large potential readership.
We sincerely invite all researchers interested in coating technology to submit their manuscripts for this Special Issue. We welcome all types of articles, including full papers, communications, reviews, and perspectives.
