Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dynamism of world industrial development is evident when observing the growing demand for new material technologies. Problems related to premature degradation of materials lead to the need for new protective materials, characterization, evaluation, and elucidation of their corrosion mechanisms. In the scientific literature, it is possible to find numerous works related to the corrosion phenomenon dispersed in different categories, which makes the understanding and learning of these advances somewhat difficult. This problem can be solved by creating a compendium of the most recent advances in the field of corrosion considering electrochemical fundamentals, corrosion mechanisms, synthesis, and characterization with emphasis on Corrosion Resistant Coatings. This Special Edition of the journal Surfaces would like to help and inspire students, scientists, specialists, and engineers, in short, everyone involved in the field of corrosion by presenting a linear, concise, and open-access compilation of scientific advances on Corrosion and Corrosion Resistant Coatings.
Therefore, we are assembling a Special Issue of Corrosion and Corrosion Resistant Coatings to encourage researchers and provide them with a platform on which to publish their novel studies. In particular, original articles and critical reviews are awaited on the topics of interest including but not limited to:
- Fundamentals of electrochemistry applied to the determination of protection and corrosion mechanism by coatings;
- Synthesis/deposition processes (chemical, physical, electrochemical, etc.) of corrosion-resistant coatings;
- Novel coatings and characterizations (organic, inorganic and hybrid);
- Characterization and testing of surfaces before and after modification;
- Advanced industrial applications of corrosion-resistant coatings formed by new methods.

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. Surfaces is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
