Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High Temperature Coatings assolve the vital function of protecting the underlying materials from thermal stresses. Their impact in our society is important as these coatings find applications in many crucial sectors as energy production and the aerospace industry. One of the most important contributions of the field of material science research during the last century was the development of the Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) architecture, now a mature commercial technology and still a very active research field. Researchers from any field are now called from the institutions and the public to contribute to sustainable development. This is a very important opportunity for the High Temperature Coatings community which also can provide several applications in which TBCs and other high temperature coatings increase the efficiency of thermal engines and provide improved performance in other energy applications, such as in Solide Oxide Fuel Cells and in the protection from hot corrosion phenomena occurring in burning biomass. It is a pleasure for us editing this special issue in such an exceptionally active research field. We invite experts to contribute with their original research articles and with manuscripts regarding research ideas envisioning future opportunity for the High Temperature Coatings community also.

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.
