Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to bring to your attention a Special Issue on “Nanostructured Metallic Coatings”, which will be of interest to the scientific and industrial community.

In this Special Issue, papers relating to the latest advancements in the field of nanostructured metallic coatings pertaining to various fields will be gathered. These include structural, functional, and biomechanical applications. The papers may include novel approaches to theoretical understanding, experimental studies, and/or a combination of both. This issue covers all related processing routes, including PVD, CVD, electrochemical, and electroless methods. Submitted papers may investigate any specific properties (mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical behavior, etc.) relating to metallic nanocoatings, as well as a wide range of characterization techniques, such as SEM, EDS, TEM, XRD, etc.

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. Metals 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.

The wetting behavior of water on metal surfaces is important for a wide range of industries, for example, in the metallurgical industry during the preparation of metallic nanoparticles or electrochemical or electroless coating preparation from aqueous solutions, as well as in the construction industry (e.g., self-cleaning metal surfaces) and in the oil industry, in the case of water–oil separation or corrosion problems. Wettability in water/metal systems has been investigated in the literature; nevertheless, contradictions can be found in the results. Some papers have reported perfect wettability even in water/noble metal systems, while other researchers state that water cannot spread well on the surface of metals, and the contact angle is predicted at around 60°. The purpose of this paper is to resolve this contradiction and find correlations to predict the contact angle for a variety of metals. In our research, the wetting behavior of distilled water on the freshly polished surface of Ag, Au, Cu, Fe, Nb, Ni, Sn, Ti, and W substrates was investigated by the sessile drop method. The contact angle of the water on the metal was determined by KSV software. The contact angle of water is identified as being between 50° and 80°. We found that the contact angle of water on metals decreases linearly with increasing the atomic radius of the substrate. Using our new equation, the contact angle of water was identified on all of the metals in the periodic table. From the measured contact angle values, the adhesion energy of the distilled water/metal substrate interface was also determined and a correlation with the free electron density parameter of substrates was determined.
