Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surface topography is an important parameter in tribological research and more. The condition of the surface (e.g., roughness) depends on the technology of its execution and the operating conditions in which it works. In recent years, a number of technologies have been improved that allow the creation of coatings that increase resistance to abrasive and erosive wear. These can be CVD and PVD coatings, padding welds with microjet technology or laser surface modification technologies. During the sliding contact of surfaces, they wear and tear off particles. Therefore, an important aspect of friction testing is also the characterization of particles emitted into the atmosphere. It is an increasingly recognized aspect of tribological research that may affect the quality of our environment. This Special Issue focuses on the broadly understood aspects of surface topography in relation to (but not limited to) tribological and erosive research.
In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to
- Study of surface topography;
- Tribological coatings;
- Surface erosion;
- Analysis of airborne wear particles;
- Surfaces after welding processes.

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.
