Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organic–inorganic hybrid materials, incorporating both organic and inorganic constituents, on metals are considered to be a promising class for a variety of applications related to corrosion resistance, catalysts, heterogeneousness, bioactivity, and optoelectronics. These materials combine the inherent properties of inorganic components, such as physical, thermal, and chemical stabilities; organic components, such as functionalization and flexibility; and intrinsic physical and chemical properties of both components. The principal goal of this Special Issue is to put forward an organic–inorganic hybrid approach to improve the different properties of metals with respect to the variety of coating methods. As guest editors, we cordially invite you to submit a manuscript to the upcoming Special Issue on “Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Materials on Metals”. This Issue will comprise original research articles, reviews, and communications. Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
- Corrosion resistance;
- Bio-related performance;
- Antibacterial;
- Surface coloring;
- Photoluminescence performance;
- Catalytic performance;
- Light-related performance.

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. Metals 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.
