Topical Collection Information

Dear Colleagues,

Coatings are essential in daily-life applications. In particular, bioactive coatings and biomedical coatings, including coating techniques and materials for medical devices, implants and other surfaces have prompted the scientific community to develop new functional coating materials with bioactive features. As the Section Editor-in-Chief of the Section "Bioactive Coatings and Biointerfaces", I would like to invite distinguished experts in the field to contribute high-quality review papers to this Special Issue as feature papers. We hope that this Special Issue can provide a platform for the scholars in support of the progress of science and the benefit of society.

This Special Issue aims to present comprehensive and brilliant review papers on the cutting-edge developments in the field. The particular areas of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Innovative bioactive coatings and surface treatments;
  • Bioinspired and biomimetic surface and interfaces;
  • Advances in bioactive surfaces characterization;
  • Applications of bioactive coatings;
  • The science and technology of biomedical functional coatings;
  • Antimicrobial coatings, prevention, and control of biofilms.

Feature review papers from top experts or those of great interest in this field are highly welcome. The criteria of manuscripts for this Special Issue mainly include the academic background of the scholar, the publication record, the novelty and significance of content, and the peer-review result of the paper.

Ceramic materials have a very long tradition of use in construction. Their durability is related to the surface of the material and the action of the corrosive environment. One of the corrosive factors acting on ceramic materials is microorganisms. They can contribute to the deterioration of the technical and performance properties of building materials. Aesthetic, physical, and chemical deterioration are considered to be the main destructive processes in ceramic materials. This work shows how the different types of the most commonly used ceramic materials, i.e., brick and tiles, are damaged. Each of these types is susceptible to microbial growth. Most microorganisms that occur on ceramic materials produce staining substances and thus form coloured biofilms. The direct action of metabolic products secreted by organisms on inorganic substrates is the main cause of chemical biodeterioration. Therefore, this work presents the impact of microorganisms on ceramic building materials. Full article
