Corrosion Resistance Enhancement of the Materials Surface—Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

From the perspectives of engineers, physicists, medical doctors, researchers, and scientists, we intend to analyze and discuss different topics of corrosion resistance. The high potential of the enhancement of a material’s surface (using metallic, polymer, or ceramic layers, or via active functionalization through laser or ion beam, mechanical, or chemical transformation) makes them suitable for many applications. Actual activity in the domain presents a few problems connected to the obtaining and processing of metallic alloys, the modification of the surface state, and the characterization, modeling, and simulation of prototyping technologies.

This Special Issue of Materials intends to focus on the most recent advances in obtaining materials with an active surface used in the industrial, automotive, chemical, or medical fields with enhanced performances.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
