Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the successful first edition of "Advances in Antibacterial Coatings: From Materials to Applications" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/coatings/special_issues/coatings_antibacterial), we are pleased to announce the upcoming Special Issue of Coatings, entitled "Advances in Antibacterial Coatings: From Materials to Applications, 2nd Edition".

Healthcare-acquired infections and emerging multi-drug resistance (MDR) have become an urgent global challenge that demands innovative alternative tools, technologies, and strategies to combat bacterial infections. Considering the recent advancements in materials science and nanotechnology, the formulation of novel antibacterial surface coating technology as a component of advanced functional biomaterials remains a top research goal. In particular, the surface-independent universal smart antibacterial coatings with contact-killing or on-demand antibiotics release profiles have attracted increasing attention in biomedical devices, drug delivery platforms, and implantable materials. Advanced functional antibacterial coatings consisting of natural entities, functional polymers, biomolecules, antibiotics, and nanomaterials were used to eliminate bacterial infections and biofilm formation in biomaterials. Moreover, antibacterial coatings have been applied in various platforms covering other essential topics, including antibacterial photothermal therapy (APTT), antibacterial photodynamic therapy (APDT), tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, biosensors, and bioelectronics.

I invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles that will provide a forum for sharing information on recent progress and advancements in antibacterial coatings by presenting and discussing potential topics including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Antibacterial formulations and coatings;
  • Bio-inspired universal antibacterial coatings;
  • Contact-killing surfaces;
  • Release-killing surfaces;
  • Hydrophillic antifouling coatings;
  • Superhydrophobic antibacterial coatings;
  • Smart interfaces;
  • Photothermal agent-integrated coatings;
  • Photosensitizer-integrated 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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.

Multifunctional coatings based on Sn-Ni materials with and without titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) incorporation were prepared using the electrochemical deposition technique at 70 °C. TiO2NPs were dispersed in the electrolyte bath, and their influence on the surface texture, crystalline phase, and properties was investigated. Various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX) were used to characterize the prepared coatings. The formation mechanism of the deposited coatings has been demonstrated to be consistent with the electrochemical behavior of instantaneous growth, and the three-dimensional growth is controlled by diffusion phenomena. The anticorrosion effectiveness of the coatings was assessed using potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in an artificial sweat medium, while the bactericidal activity of the composite coatings (the ability to induce cell death) was evaluated in accordance with the ISO 27447:2019 test. The influence of TiO2NPs at a low concentration of 1 g/L on the composition, structure, and properties of the deposited coatings was demonstrated. Particular attention was paid to the relationship between the anticorrosive and bactericidal properties of the coatings and their structure composition and wetting properties. The synergistic effect of chemical composition and surface-wetting properties has been demonstrated to enhance the anticorrosive and bactericidal properties of the prepared coatings. Full article
