Dear Colleagues,

Over the years, industry and medical use of coatings has grown exponentially. This growth has been accompanied by an increase in the complexity and variety of the coatings, to meet diverse demands. Different manufacturing techniques and processes have been developed to produce coatings of a varied nature to meet the requirements of the gamut of operating regimes, such as ceramic coatings, to provide thermal protection in automotive components. The high-temperature operating regime of the reciprocating engine, a result of the protection of its metal components by the ceramic coatings, enables efficient operation of the vehicle and leads to a reduction in emissions. The coatings can also provide friction-reducing surfaces in the sliding partners, such as piston groups and cylinder liners in the reciprocating engine of the vehicles. Ceramic coatings find myriad applications in a variety of medical interventions such as orthopaedics and dentistry.

Thermal barrier coatings in general provide, for example, protection of components of spacecraft operating in high-temperature environments, as well as protection for components operating in harsh environments leading to their corrosion or oxidation. This protection leads to efficient operation of vehicles as well as component life extension.

Solid lubricant coatings exhibit desirable tribological operating properties such as anti-friction behaviour under normal or extreme environmental operating conditions, including extremely high loads, high speeds, high temperature, and vacuum, as often encountered in space. Diamond-like carbon coatings provide a high level of lubricity, and their application in automotive components can lead to a large improvement in fuel efficiency, a reduction in emissions, and a significant component life extension.

This Issue seeks papers including, but not limited to, studies on the following coatings: ceramic coatings, thermal barrier coatings, solid lubricant coatings and diamond-like carbon coatings, discussed under one, or a combination, of the following headings:

  * Status
  * State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Techniques
  * Applications
  * Future trends
  * Theoretical Modelling and Prediction of Coatings Failure/Reliability and Experimental Validation Methods
