Special Issue “Recent Developments on Functional Coatings for Industrial Applications, Volume II”

Abstract

“Recent Developments on Functional Coatings for Industrial Applications, Volume II” addresses the provision of further insights into new and emerging research assets concerning the design, manufacturing, characterization and optimization of functional coatings for industrial applications. The aim of this Issue is to further contribute to the improvement of knowledge on functional coatings synthesis, characterization and tailoring, emphasizing its emerging industrial applicability in several industrial fields. The multidisciplinary nature of the theme represents a further stimulus aimed at enhancing the applicative importance and the technological versatility of the engineering design of functional surfaces. A multidisciplinary approach will act as a further stimulus in encouraging researchers to exploit suitably the applicative relevance and adaptability of functional coating and surface engineering design and tailoring.
