Surface & Coatings Technology

Journal Title：Surface & Coatings Technology

Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:

A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.

B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.

Surface and Coatings Technology 是一本国际档案期刊，发表有关表面和界面工程重大发展的科学论文，以修改和改善材料的表面特性，以在苛刻的接触条件或腐蚀性环境中提供保护，或增强功能性能。投稿范围从与研究的基础和应用方面或金属、无机、有机和复合涂层的直接应用有关的原始科学文章，到对特定领域当前技术的特邀评论。投稿到本刊的论文预计在工艺、性质/性能方面符合以下几个方面：
