Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion is well known to be a hazardous and tremendously expensive issue. The fundamental factor influencing how metal alloys behave when they corrode is surface interaction with the environment. Metals and alloys can be protected against corrosion using a variety of techniques, such as the application of coatings, the use of corrosion inhibitors, and cathodic/anodic protection. To prevent damaging issues in various industries, coating applications for corrosion control, protection, and prevention are becoming more and more popular today. Additionally, as metallic materials are used in a variety of industrial sectors, the development and promotion of new and enhanced surface treatments considerably contribute to new functionalities of metallic materials.
Even though corrosion inhibition has become a widely researched topic in recent years, the “Sustainable Development Goals” cannot be attained without more sophisticated understanding to win the war against corrosion and material deterioration. The dramatic effects of corrosion will undoubtedly be lessened with a profound comprehension of the corrosion inhibition phenomena.
In this regard, the present Special Issue aims to summarize and highlight the latest achievements in the literature, experimental work, and analytical techniques related to recent advances in the field of surface treatments and coatings applied to various metals and alloys to provide different functionalities. We encourage academic and industry researchers to submit high-quality original works on topics including, but not limited to the following:
- Coatings for corrosion control in general;
- Surface modification;
- Chemical and electrochemical conversion treatments;
- Most effective characterization and testing of surfaces before and after treatment;
- Novel surface treatments involving green inhibitors.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
