Special Issue on Material Surface Engineering

The first interaction of the environment with a material occurs at the surface, irrespective of whether this interaction is mechanical, chemical or biological. Improvement of materials performance with respect to corrosion, wear and fatigue is often realized by modifying the surface level. Also, surface engineering is used to accomplish purpose-designed combinations of surface properties. Surface engineering is the major materials synthesis activity in the section. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of material surface engineering.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring material surface engineering. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Surface cleaning techniques
• Surface pretreatment
• Materials design and surface engineering
• Material surface modification
• Properties of material surface
• Surface corrosion failure

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Material Surface Engineering” should be selected during your submission.
