Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your work for our Special Issue “Advanced Tribological Coatings: Fabrication and Application”. Today, the demand for green tribology is increasing to combat global warming and environmental pollution. Tribological coatings provide a way out of emerging energy and environmental problems. This Special Issue includes the application and development of tribological coatings to solve various contact problems such as friction, wear, lubrication, and adhesion in mechanical systems. We invite articles dealing with the surface modification of mechanical systems. These articles cover the manufacture and application of advanced tribological coatings (i.e., diamond-like carbons, hard yet tough ceramics, high-entropy alloys, polymer-based coatings, MXene, TMDC, and so on).
We welcome contributions that expand the manufacturing methods and industrial applications (i.e., automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, machinery, and so on) of these coatings.
The topics of particular interest in this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Novel fabricating technologies and processes for surface modification and tribological coatings;
- Structural control of coatings, e.g., nanolayer, nanocomposite, multilayer, and so on;
- Coating tribology (friction and wear mechanisms of surfaces and interfaces);
- Application of tribological coatings, including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, machinery, and so on.

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. Coatings 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 2600 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.
