Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Polymer coatings have become a popular candidate material for surface modification due to their advantages of good chemical stability, simple processing, and low cost. Modification of the polymer provides it with the functions of anti-fouling, corrosion resistance, and self-healing, making it suitable for numerous fields. In this Special Issue, emphasis will be placed on, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Polymer coating development;
  • Polymer coating modification;
  • Polymer coating characterization;
  • Polymer coating properties;
  • Polymer coating simulation;
  • Application of polymer coatings.

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. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.

In this paper, the PANI/PDA-Ti4O7 composite coating was prepared on 316L by constant current deposition with a current density of 2.8 mA·cm−2, in which the Ti4O7 powders were modified by PDA (polydopamine). The open-circuit potential of the obtained PANI/PDA-Ti4O7 composite coating is about 365 mVAg/AgCl, which is more positive than that of the bare 316L. During immersion in 1 M H2SO4 + 2 ppm HF for 200 h, the high stable corrosion potential and the lower Rf indicate that the composite coating has long-term corrosion resistance. Full article

The purpose of the research discussed in this article is to explore the possibility of creating hybrid soft ballistic panel (BP) package variants by integrating into their composition layers of graphene-modified para-aramid fabrics in combinations with the different ballistic Kevlar textiles to improve the durability of the first layers of the soft ballistic panel. To address this goal, the liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) method was used for integrating dispersions into composites to solve a number of topical problems in the stages of the technological sequence development of processing methods and optimizing processing parameters in accordance with the processing specifics of aramid textiles to achieve the desired properties of modified ballistic fabric, including the provision of coating adhesion to the surface to be modified. To test the results, ballistic experiments were performed and the back-face signature (BFS) of bullet impact on a backing material was analysed according to standards. Bullet impacts on the first ballistic protective fabric layers were also studied. Full article
