Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As an important application of coatings, solid surface has been widely used in various industrial coating fields. Due to problems of material properties and process flow, the solid surface will inevitably produce many defects, such as cracks and shrinkage holes. These defects seriously affect the quality of products; therefore, timely detection is needed.
Accordingly, we have launched this new Special Issue of Coatings, which will collect original research articles and review papers focusing on the fundamentals and application of applied surface science and engineering for coatings. We invite papers dealing with, but not limited to, the following topics: coatings for solid surfaces, theoretical and computational modeling of solid surfaces, vision detection for surface defects, artificial intelligence of vision detection, recognition of industrial products, hidden defect detection and classification methods, non-destructive testing and evaluation using image processing methods.
We look forward to receiving your contribution.
Prof. Dr. Kechen Song
Guest Editor
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.
