Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental problems, energy problems, resource problems, and other new issues facing us in the 21st century are piling up. These problems are too numerous to list. Against this background of the times, the role of materials in supporting all of civilization is extremely important. Coating technology is the most effective way to add new functions to conventional material products in order to respond to new problems while taking advantage of their properties. This is because coating is a technology that makes it possible to impart new functions to materials in a composite manner while utilizing the properties of conventional bulk materials.
In this Special Issue, we invite contributions of scientific and engineering research on coating technology that is being undertaken to solve the various problems that are arising in this new era. We encourage you to contribute to the construction of a new, safe, and secure society through this Special Issue. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
