Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern dentistry not only relies on practitioners' clinical skills, but also on the advancement of materials to provide definite functions, such as adhesion, strength, biomechanics, biocompatibility, and anti-fouling. In particular, polymeric coatings from nano- to macro-scales are essential in providing these functions in both routine dental practices and frontier dental research. This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the most recent advances in polymeric coatings to maximize the broad horizon from laboratory to clinical studies, from nano to macro behaviors, as well as multi-disciplines with chemical, physical, biological, engineering, and clinical applications. Interdisciplinary approaches to yield meaningful and impactful research for dental-related users are emphasized.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Nano/micro/macro-scale polymeric coating;
- Resin/polymeric coating for adhesion;
- Anti-fouling coatings;
- Dental functional coatings;
- Chemical synthesis of polymeric coatings;
- Biological assessments of polymeric coatings;
- Clinical trial on polymeric coatings for dentistry.

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.
