Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials are widely used in the development of self-healing coatings. Once the coating is damaged, the nanomaterials added to the coatings can realize the controlled release of healing agents (corrosion inhibitor, hydrophobic agent and anti-fouling agent) to effectively repair the damaged area, which is the main strategy of constructing self-healing coatings at present. Furthermore, nanomaterials prepared by precise design also show great potential in improving the dispersion of fillers in self-healing coatings, enhancing the barrier properties of self-healing coatings, realizing the versatility of self-healing coatings and promoting the intellectualization of self-healing coatings.
This Special Issue aims to introduce the theoretical developments and practical applications of nanomaterials in self-healing coatings. We are pleased to invite authors to contribute their recent findings in relevant fields and submit original research articles and reviews.
Best regards,
Dr. Yanli Wang
Guest Editor
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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
