Advances in Corrosion Behaviors and Protection of Coatings

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Corrosion Behaviors and Protection”. Corrosion protection in the form of coating is a promising method of protecting material surfaces from external damage in different environments. However, there is a need to put in place a long-lasting method of protecting these coatings in order to prevent failure.

This Special Issue aims to promote the effectiveness of coatings and corrosion protection-related activities as a viable way of reducing the corrosion of metallic materials to the minimum, especially in aggressive environments. The development of coated materials and alloys with high corrosion resistance properties for various applications is the focus of this Special Issue. Different ways on how to protect and sustain the coatings for effective performance is also of high importance.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: Corrosion protection in high temperature environments, organic and inorganic coatings, metal selection and surface conditions, corrosion inhibitors, polymeric coatings, anti-corrosion coatings for metallic materials, etc.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Temitope Olugbade
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.
