Special Issue on Surface Modification and Coatings 

Appropriate surface preparation is the essential first step to provide consistent and reliable adhesive or cohesive bond strength. Major bonding elements comprise substrate, adhesive, bondline surface area and (for adhesive joining) joint design.  These factors must be optimized as needed for a particular bonding application to obtain maximum adhesion (or cohesion) between the bonding elements. 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 Surface Modification and Coatings .

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

• Surface modification technologies
• Basic mechanisms, theory and fundamentals
• Surface modification of biomaterials
• Surface modification of carbon materials
• Surface modification of alloy
• Applications and surface engineering
• Coating process
• Functional coatings

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 - Surface Modification and Coatings ” should be selected during your submission.
