Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surface protection is an essential aspect of materials science and engineering, which aims to improve the performance, durability, and sustainability of materials exposed to diverse environmental conditions. Polymeric coating systems have garnered significant attention due to their versatility, customizability, and exceptional properties. Recent advancements in materials science, nanotechnology, and chemistry have enabled the development of intelligent, high-performance, and multifunctional polymeric coatings; these coatings have the potential to revolutionize the way we approach surface protection, enabling smarter, more resilient, and eco-friendly solutions.
The objective is to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, engineers, and professionals to present their findings and insights on the development of cutting-edge polymeric coating systems that have the potential to revolutionize surface protection across various industries. The key topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High-performance coatings with enhanced protection properties.
- Multifunctional polymeric coatings: self-sensing, self-healing, anti-icing, self-cleaning properties, etc.
- Intelligent polymeric coating systems: sensor integration, damage responsiveness, and adaptability to environmental variations.
- Novel fabrication methods for advanced polymeric coating systems.
- Green and sustainable polymeric coating materials and processes.
- Computational modeling and simulation of polymeric coating systems.
Future trends and challenges in the development of intelligent, high-performance, and multifunctional polymeric coating systems.

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. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
