Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study on the characterization and mechanisms of friction and wear phenomena is always a matter of central focus in tribology. Since tribo-materials and friction systems have a wide variety, their properties and mechanisms have necessarily become complicated. Along with advances in measurement and analysis technologies in recent years, the essence of friction and wear phenomena will become clearer through a number of studies. For building a sustainable society for the future, it is necessary to study and develop the optimal tribological systems with a social environment.
In the Special Issue entitled "Characterization and Mechanisms of Friction and Wear Phenomena," original papers focusing on evaluating tribological properties and elucidating tribological processes from multifaceted viewpoints such as friction and wear tests, in situ measurements, and modeling and simulation in tribology are welcomed. Furthermore, the papers on the latest topics will be welcome as they aim for a deeper understanding of friction and wear phenomena in various tribo-materials and tribological systems. We hope that this Special Issue will be utilized to make a breakthrough in realizing a sustainable society for the future. We are looking forward to receiving your submissions.
Prof. Dr. Alan Hase

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.
