Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites high-quality contributions focused on advanced methods for corrosion control and materials degradation modeling in energy, marine, and aerospace applications. Emphasis is placed on novel metallic and non-metallic coatings, electrochemical characterization, and intelligent materials design to enhance durability and performance under harsh operating conditions.
We also welcome studies incorporating statistical and data-driven modeling, including design of experiments (DoE), machine learning, and numerical simulations to predict corrosion behavior, optimize coating systems, and guide material selection.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Corrosion-resistant coatings for PEM fuel cells and electrolyzers
- Degradation mechanisms of alloys and composites
- Electrochemical impedance and polarization modeling
- Predictive modeling of corrosion using statistical or machine learning tools
- Sustainable materials for hydrogen and electric propulsion systems
- Design and optimization of materials using DoE or response surface methods
This issue aims to foster interdisciplinary research linking materials science, electrochemistry, and computational/statistical techniques to support the development of next-generation energy and mobility systems.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
