Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on "Efficiency of Coatings Formed in Various Ways” in the journal Coatings. Coating is a versatile technique used to protect against corrosion and erosion and extend the life of a wide variety of materials and products. At the same time, the main goal of forming a thin coating on the surface of a material or product is to improve their quality and impart new important properties. The characteristics of the coated object are controlled primarily by the targeted selection of the chemical composition and structure of the material forming the coating. Therefore, some researchers underestimate the role of the coating formation method when planning and conducting research. However, it is the method of coating that determines its structure, design, morphology, thickness, uniformity, and many other significant characteristics. Currently, a variety of coating formation techniques are widely used, the most important of which are: dip-coating technique, chemical deposition/electrodeposition, layer by layer assembly, spray coating, spin coating technique, electrospray/electrospinning coating technique, chemical etching technique, lithographic patterning technique, and miscellaneous techniques. It is impossible to list all the known techniques. In addition, interesting new coating techniques are constantly being developed. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, so far unknown to a wide audience.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish original research articles, critical reviews, and the views of leading researchers in both academia and industry on all aspects related to recent advances in the development of new coating methods, research on the relationship of methods and process parameters, formation of coatings with structure, morphology and basic characteristics of coatings on the surface of materials and products of various nature. Contributions to the development of new concepts and mechanisms for forming coatings are also welcome.
In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- New ways of forming coatings;
- Materials with coatings formed in various ways;
- New methods for determining the characteristics of coatings;
- Advanced industrial applications of coatings formed by new methods.
