Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
All over the world researchers and industrial specialists have undertaken titanic efforts in order to decrease undesired degradation resulting from corrosion. For the best approaches to resolving these issues through the application of resistant materials and the reduction of aggressive environments, it is imperative that we first learn as much as possible about the basic chemical, electrochemical, and microbiological degrading processes. It is also necessary to diminish the harmful environmental impacts caused by special anticorrosion chemicals. This is why the inhibition of different types of corrosion by multifunctional inhibitors/coatings is important, as they can control not only metal dissolution but can also decrease microbial adhesion and could function as biostatics or biocides. This Special Issue seeks to gather together papers on advanced, multifunctional smart coating materials and on their application in order to engage with new trends that help advance understanding of degrading mechanisms as well as the inhibition potentials for different types of corrosion.
The aim of this Special Issue is to publish manuscripts on these topics:
- New materials/nanomaterials for surface (pre)treatments that improve the chemical/electrochemical/microbiological stability of the solid surface;
- Coatings with anticorrosion and antimicrobial adhesion activity;
- Innovation in multifunctional coatings—materials, techniques, characterization;
- Coatings with antimicrobial activity;
- Non-releasing biostatic/biocidal coatings;
- New characterization techniques that improve the analysis smart coatings;
Visualization of surface coatings by traditional and novel methods.

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.
