Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Until now, topical issues on marine fouling have been associated with the coating of ship hulls; cooling pipes of engine cooling systems; and constructions with marine plankton, mollusks, and algae. Another important problem is the fight against the bacterial and fungal growth of various medical devices, which causes the spread of hospital infections. In addition, the issue of combating corrosion of metal structures and reinforced concrete structures is always relevant.
This Special Issue is devoted to the development of protective materials and coatings, the study of their properties, comparisons with known analogues, and a description of the prospects for their application.
We invite researchers in these fields to share their current results in this Special Issue or to outline the history of the creation and development of protective coatings in mini-reviews.
