Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion of metals is a significant and cross-sector issue, affecting several research fields, from medical implants to buildings, mechanical components, and even cultural heritage.
To address this issue, coatings have been largely applied, constituting of different classes of materials, from polymers to calcium phosphates.
For these reasons, the aim of this Special Issue is to document current advances in the field of coatings to prevent corrosion, with special reference to calcium phosphates-based coatings and their applications in biomedicine and cultural heritage field. Contributions in the form of original articles and review articles are encouraged, covering different areas of application.
In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Anti-corrosion coatings in cultural heritage;
- Coatings to prevent corrosion of metallic biomedical implants;
- Corrosion phenomena in cultural heritage;
- Corrosion of metallic biomedical implants;
- Calcium phosphates coatings against corrosion;
- Novel techniques for coatings manufacturing;
- Advanced characterization techniques to investigate the properties of the coatings (composition, morphology, mechanical properties, solubility, etc…).
