Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Coating formation techniques have witnessed remarkable advances, leading to exponential growth in technological applications in recent decades. Immersion techniques have demonstrated versatility in creating thin films and coatings, giving rise to many dip-coating variations, including cold, hot, and continuous methods. Furthermore, the spectrum of applications has expanded significantly, encompassing diverse fields, such as luminescence, medicine, fiber optics, carbonation, semiconductors, and water treatment. This proliferation of possibilities has led to the design of novel materials tailored to the needs of modern industry.

We are thrilled to extend our invitation to you, urging your valuable contributions to this Special Issue. We welcome original research and review articles that expand the fundamental knowledge and explore the vast technological applications derived from employing immersion techniques, specifically dip-coating, for coatings and thin film formation. We are particularly interested in publishing groundbreaking research that promises to diversify the industrial applications of dip-coating, thus fostering innovation in this field.

This Special Issue aims to disseminate innovative research that allows analyzing the effect between the variables of the dip-coating technique, and the final, structural, morphological, and properties in coatings and thin films.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Theoretical and experimental research, knowledge, and new ideas on dip-coating techniques;
  • Recent advances in dip-coating applications;
  • A new generation of dip-coating films;
  • Industrial applications;
  • Instrumentation and control of dip-coating techniques; 
  • Morphological, structural, and mechanical properties of coatings and films; 
  • Applications on: medicine, water treatment, luminescence, optics, semiconductors, magnetism, corrosion, tribology, etc.;
  • Ceramics films;
  • Polymeric films.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The liquid phase projection diagram, three-dimensional phase diagram, and vertical section diagram of the Zn–x%Al–x%Mg alloy system was calculated using the phase diagram calculation software Pandat. Simultaneously making full use of the self-developed hot-dip galvanizing process simulation machine by China Steel Research produced a 75%Zn–19%Al–6%Mg coating. A method combining phase diagram calculations and experimental verification was used to investigate the equilibrium phases and solidification process of the alloy. The microstructure of the 75%Zn–19%Al–6%Mg coating was studied using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometry. The results indicate that the coating structure consists of primary Al dendrite phase, MgZn2 inter-metallic compound and Zn-rich phase. There is no ternary eutectic structure in the coating structure. Al dendrites grow on the surface of the coating, while there are no Al dendrites on the cross-section. The experimental results strongly concur with the calculated results from the Pandat phase diagram. The solidification sequence of the 75%Zn–19%Al–6%Mg coating is L→L + Al→L + Al + MgZn2→Al + MgZn2 + Zn. The phase diagram guides industrial production significantly, avoiding the waste of transitional materials and zinc caused by small scale trial and error experiments, thus reducing unnecessary production costs. The factory can select a reasonable coating composition designing scheme in the phase diagram, based on the performance requirements of customers for the coating. Full article
