Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cold gas spraying (CGS) has emerged as a promising technology for the deposition of a wide range of materials onto various substrates, offering numerous advantages over conventional thermal spraying techniques. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advancements in CGS technology and its applications in the fields of coating and additive manufacturing.
The Special Issue features contributions from experts in the field who present novel research findings, innovative methodologies, and industrial applications of CGS. The selected papers encompass a diverse range of materials, including metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, and composites, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in CGS technology.
The topics covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Characterization of CGS coatings: microstructure, mechanical properties, and performance evaluation.
- Novel materials and feedstock development for CGS.
- Multifunctional coatings and tailored properties using CGS.
- CGS for additive manufacturing: process development, material selection, and part quality.
- Hybridization of CGS with other coating and additive manufacturing techniques.
- Computational modeling and simulation of CGS processes.
- Applications of CGS in aerospace, automotive, energy, biomedical, and other sectors.
- Environmental considerations and sustainability aspects of CGS.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
