Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion and biofouling are the most severe threats to the safety of engineering equipment and architectural structures. Despite the development of several anticorrosion and anti-fouling techniques, surface coating remains the most effective, economical, and widely used strategy to prevent corrosion and bio-fouling, and a great amount of progress has been achieved in this field.
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute a manuscript to this Special Issue, entitled "Recent Advances in Corrosion and Bio-Fouling Resistant Coatings". The manuscript could be either an original research article or a review focused on anti-corrosion and anti-fouling coatings. Manuscripts on other anti-corrosion and anti-fouling strategies based on surface engineering techniques are also welcome.
Dr. Hao-Cheng Yang
Guest Editor
