Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The corrosion failure of materials has been a long-term, worldwide issue, causing huge economic losses and accidental disasters. Corrosion protection research comprises an important step towards sustainable actions to protect our environment and to conserve resources. With technical innovations, new corrosion problems have arisen given the emergence and application of new materials. In this context, the present Special Issue aims to collect state-of-the-art research, providing a forum for discussion on recent advances in corrosion evaluation, testing, protection, and failure analysis.
We welcome high-quality original research and review articles on themes including, but not limited to, the following:
- Corrosion behaviors and mechanisms;
- Failure analysis;
- Surface modification;
- Advanced coatings;
- Corrosion inhibitors and smart carriers;
- Corrosion inhibition mechanism by DFT calculation and molecular dynamics simulation;
- Electrochemical characterization;
- New monitoring, evaluation, simulation, and prediction methods.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
