About Coatings

Aims

Coatings (ISSN 2079-6412) is an international, peer-reviewed and open access journal devoted to the science and engineering of coatings, thin and thick films, surfaces and interfaces. Coatings publishes original research papers and brief communications that report on the latest finding of research together with review papers that systematize the remarkable points on the state of the art. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided.

Scope

The journal covers coatings, surfaces and interfaces in the broader sense. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Thin and thick films

Processes for coating deposition and modification

Characterization techniques

Functional, protective and decorative coatings

Dyes, pigments and their intermediates

Wear, corrosion, erosion

Coatings for high temperature

Film materials for packaging

Applied surface science

Adsorption, adhesion, functionalization

Fundamental and functional properties of surface and interfaces

Theoretical and computational modeling of surfaces and interfaces

High surface area systems: colloids, nanoparticles, large interfaces
