Special Issue Surface and Coating Engineering

Surface and Coating Engineering is an interdisciplinary subfield spanning materials science, mechanical engineering, and applied chemistry, defined as the systematic design, modification, and deposition of the outermost 10 nm to 10 μm layer of solid substrates (metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites) to achieve tailored tribological, chemical, optical, biological, or mechanical properties that neither the bulk substrate nor standalone coating materials can deliver independently. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Surface and Coating Engineering.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Surface and Coating Engineering. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Advanced Coating Deposition Technology
• Surface Modification & Texturing
• Functional & Smart Coating Systems
• Interfacial Science & Performance Evaluation
• Green & Sustainable Surface Manufacturing

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Surface and Coating Engineering” should be selected during your submission.
