Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal corrosion remains a critical industrial challenge, with traditional anticorrosive coatings failing in harsh environments due to poor weather resistance and barrier properties. Since the rise of nanotechnology, nanocomposite anticorrosive coatings incorporating nanoparticles such as BN, graphene, and TiO2 have emerged, shifting research from an early focus on nanoparticle dispersion and interfacial compatibility to multiscale synergistic mechanisms and, recently, force-thermal-chemical coupling failure mechanisms under multifactor environments. Yet, challenges persist in optimizing "function-structure-service behavior" integration for high-end equipment protection.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials focuses on fundamental research, technological innovation, and engineering applications of nanostructured anticorrosive coatings. It seeks papers on nanomaterial design/modification, coating preparation/process optimization, performance characterization/failure mechanisms, service behavior/environmental effects, and engineering applications. Hot topics include synergistic reinforcement of 2D material-based coatings, smart self-healing/superhydrophobic coatings, multiscale failure modeling via machine learning, and green nanocoating technologies like waterborne systems and biomass-based materials.
We kindly encourage you to submit a manuscript regarding one of the above topics to this Special Issue. We look forward to receiving your contributions exploring innovative solutions and advancing nanocoating technologies for critical industrial applications.

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.
