Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioactive coatings have emerged as a significant area of interest within the realm of materials science and biotechnology. These specialized coatings are designed to interact with biological systems to promote specific biological responses at the interface between the material and the biological environment. Commonly used in medical implants, these coatings aim to improve biocompatibility, prevent infection, and enhance integration with surrounding tissues. As research in this field continues to advance, bioactive coatings stand poised to make a substantial impact on diverse industries, offering innovative solutions for improved human health and well-being.
The Special Issue "Synthesis and Applications of Bioactive Coatings" delves into the cutting-edge realm of material science, focusing on the development and utilization of bioactive coatings. This collection of research articles and reviews offers a comprehensive exploration of the synthesis processes, properties, and diverse applications of these innovative coatings. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Novel Synthesis Techniques for Bioactive Coatings;
- Characterization and Properties of Bioactive Coatings;
- Medical Applications and Biocompatibility Assessment;
- Bioactive Coatings in Tissue Engineering;
- Environmental and Industrial Applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
