Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have changed many industries and will eventually change research on surface engineering and coating as well. Obviously, AI-driven surface engineering and coating research is very challenging and still in its infancy; thus, a Special Issue in this area will promote research and encourage communication among researchers from different domains. Therefore, I would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on "AI-Driven Surface Engineering and Coating". The aim is to present the latest developments of AI in the field surface engineering and coating via a combination of original research papers and review articles from leading groups around the world.

This scope of this Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers on the following concepts:

  • Theoretical and experimental research, knowledge and new ideas in AI-driven surface engineering and coating;
  • Recent developments in AI technologies relevant to design and manufacturing for surface engineering and coating;
  • AI technologies used to predict properties, performance, durability and reliability for surface engineering and coating under various external conditions, such as friction, wear, under different pressures/temperatures;
  • AI technologies used for different surface engineering and coating processes, including but not limit to polishing, plating, additive manufacturing, laser and plasma processing, etc.;
  • AI technologies used to help understand degradation mechanisms for surface engineering and coatings under various external conditions such as corrosion.

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.
