Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With time passing by, metal surface will be corroded or worn, which causes series of problem. On the one hand, corrosion of metal surface will lead to equipment damage, pipeline leakage and product pollution. On the other hand, it may cause malignant accidents such as combustion or explosion as well as serious waste of resources and energy, which must cause huge losses to the national the national economy.
With the development of cutting-edge science and modern industry, more and more industrial departments require mechanical equipment which can operate stably for a long time under high parameters and extreme working conditions, which puts forward higher requirements to the performance of materials. Therefore, the development of material surface protection and strengthening technology is of great significance. Surface coating technology is one of the surface engineering technologies. Without changing the composition of the base material, this technology can improve some properties of the surface of the base material by some physical, chemical or other means, so as to protect the base material. It is a very promising surface modification method.
This Special Issue aims at covering recent progress and new developments in coating based metallic and non-metallic materials, including composition design, preparation process, computational simulation and structural characterization. We kindly invite you to submit a manuscript(s) for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
