Eco-Friendly Coatings and Adhesive Technology

Dear Colleagues,

Coatings and adhesives are indispensable polymer materials used for modern industrial development. They are widely used in construction, aerospace, electronic information, artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and other applications. As people pay more attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, research on environmentally friendly coatings and adhesives is receiving increasing attention. For example, water-based coatings, water-based paints, photocuring resins, re-use adhesives, powder coatings, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and solvent-free adhesives have been developed and applied at high speeds. This Special Issue aims to establish a platform for the above-mentioned research on environmentally friendly coatings and adhesives. We welcome all scholars to submit papers.
