Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
2021 marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of Coatings. In the past year, the new Impact Factor of Coatings increased to 2.881 (+18.3% compared with 2019), ranking in Q2 (10th of 21) in the MATERIALS SCIENCE, COATINGS & FILMS category and Q2 (70th of 160) in the PHYSICS, APPLIED category. Additionally, China Association for Science and Technology announced a catalog of high-quality sci-tech journals, in which our journal Coatings was graded as T2 in "High-Level English Journals in the Field of Coatings"!
The past year was successful, and we will continue this success in 2022. Coatings will create greater glories and gain higher IF. A Special Issue entitled “Coatings in 2022” is being launched. This Special Issue includes high-quality papers under the broad scope of Coatings. We would like to invite you to contribute an original research paper or a comprehensive review article on a trendy or heated topic for peer review and possible publication.
