Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid advancement of technology and the increasing globalization of society, it is imperative to enhance the characteristics of materials to meet new demands and respond to emerging problems. For this reason, materials must continue to evolve to meet consumer demand. To this end, it is critical to keep studying ways to create more advanced coatings, namely discovering new material combinations, multilayer structures, and advanced coatings.
Coating techniques, as well as improving material characteristics, have been extensively studied. Research conducted by the scientific community has aided in the advancement of both new and existing coating techniques. As a result, many interesting topics are being developed daily in the field of thin film coatings. This Special Issue aims to compile the latest advances through original, high-quality research capable of promoting new developments in coating processes and their applications.

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.
