Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The laser has some unique properties for the surface treatment of different materials. Laser surface treatment is now used in nearly every industry, including automotive, aerospace and shipbuilding industries. They allow for the shaping and modifying of physical and mechanical properties in selected micro-areas. Thermal energy can be placed precisely on the surface, only where it is needed. Such treatment is very difficult, or even impossible, to achieve with other techniques. Advanced surface engineering techniques such as laser surface treatment play a key role in modern materials science. Accordingly, we launch this new Special Issue of Coatings to collect original research articles and review papers.
Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Influence of laser treatment on tribological and mechanical properties;
- Structure and properties of layers after laser surface treatment;
- Laser surface treatment;
- Laser texturing;
- Laser functionalization of the surface;
- Laser staining of the surface;
- Laser cladding;
- Laser heating;
- Laser alloying.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
