Advances in Polymer Based Composite Coatings

This special issue belongs to the section “Polymer Applications“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Polymer-based composite coatings represent a class of attractive materials, as they can have multiple applications in biomedical or industrial fields. The development of such novel materials is a continuous challenge, as specific properties of coatings such as high adherence, crystallinity, temperature and corrosion resistance, or high conductivity are demanded. For these achievements, chemical synthesis methods and physical deposition techniques, together with characterization techniques, need to grow by improving their capabilities.

The present Special Issue targets advances in polymer-based composite coatings generation, and characterization techniques for the most novel applications.
