Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, a high percentage of materials used in strategic areas, such as the aerospace, energy, or biomedical industries, are subjected to surface modification procedures that adapt their initial properties to specific work conditions. This enhances the performance of the processes in which the manufactured parts are involved.
The surface engineering techniques and procedures used for the modification of the features and mechanical behavior of the manufactured elements allow them to overcome their limitations and enhance the properties of the external layers without affecting the remaining material.
This Special Issue is focused on research regarding surface functionalization, and thus welcomes papers related to the most recent advances in this field.

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.
