Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to address aspects of tribology and mechanical properties of engineered surfaces. Its scope includes both experimental investigations and modelling of contact and failure mechanisms. We welcome research papers, case studies and topic reviews that improve our understanding of tribo-mechanical responses, the characterisation and performance of engineered surfaces, and the design and manufacture of surface engineered solutions for specific tribological industrial applications. Additional emphasis will be given to multifunctional, nanostructured and nanocomposite surface engineered solutions for challenging operating conditions.
In particular, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- surface engineered devices for tribological applications;
- surface modification techniques and surface treatments;
- mechanical testing and friction and wear testing of surface engineered materials;
- characterisation of surface engineered devices;
- industrial applications of engineered surface devices; and
- modelling of surface engineered systems.

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.
