Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Composite coatings have led to significant improvements in various industrial and technological sectors due to their unique combination of materials with distinct properties. They have revolutionized traditional surface treatments and opened new possibilities for advanced engineering applications across industries like aerospace, automotive, electronics, and biomedical sectors.
The primary objective of this Special Issue is to display state-of-the-art research on the development, characterization, and mechanical properties of composite coatings. This Special Issue will be dedicated to exploring the advancements made in understanding the microstructure of composite coatings, ranging from novel nanostructures to innovative macrostructures. Moreover, the issue aims to delve into the interplay between the microstructural features and their impact on the mechanical behavior of these coatings. As the guest editors of this Special Issue, we are thrilled to curate a collection of high-quality research articles, reviews, and communications that will highlight the latest trends and developments in this fascinating area of research.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Multifunctional composite coatings for advanced applications;
- Coatings for demanding environments (thermal and environmental barrier coatings, etc.);
- Advance microstructural analysis and characterization (SEM, TEM, EBSD, etc.);
- Mechanical properties, including hardness, toughness, wear resistance, and fatigue behavior;
- High temperature oxidation;
- Corrosion;
- Coating processing methods such as thermal spraying, electrophoretic deposition, PVD, and plasma electrolytic oxidation.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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).
