Development of Nanocomposite Coatings (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the eagerly awaited Special Issue titled “Development of Nanocomposite Coatings II” in the esteemed journal Nanomaterials. This Special Issue serves as a platform to showcase cutting-edge research developments and findings in the realm of nanocomposite coatings, offering a gateway to publication for your groundbreaking work.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the demand for durable and reliable elements, components, and systems operating under challenging conditions has surged. From extreme temperatures and pressures to corrosive environments and complex loading configurations, the need for innovative engineering solutions is more pressing than ever.

Surface engineering, particularly through surface modifications and coatings, has emerged as a cornerstone in enhancing the service life and performance of critical components and systems. At the forefront of this revolution are nanocomposite coatings, which harness the power of nanoscale materials to engineer surfaces tailored for severe operational conditions.

While the industrial application of nano or nanocomposite coatings may still be considered nascent, the benefits they offer are substantial. Thanks to recent advancements, these coatings are characterized by their robustness, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The ability to precisely control and optimize properties at the nano scale empowers researchers to achieve unparalleled solutions.

This Special Issue invites manuscripts reporting novel research findings in the development and application of nano and nanocomposite coatings across diverse fields including, but not limited to, tribology, corrosion protection, cavitation resistance, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer enhancement.

By contributing your latest research findings to this Special Issue, you not only enrich the scientific discourse but also play a pivotal role in advancing sustainable development goals. Nanocomposite coatings hold immense promise in mitigating environmental impacts, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing the longevity of critical infrastructure.

Join us in shaping the future of surface engineering and accelerating progress towards a more sustainable and resilient world. We extend a warm invitation for you to submit your manuscripts and encourage you to engage with the guest editor should you plan to submit a review paper.

Together, let us pave the way for transformative innovations and forge a path towards a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.

Prof. Dr. Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan

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. 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.
