Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal spraying is widely applied in the aerospace, automobile, and industrial gas turbine industries. This coating deposition method is still in improvement. For example, such methods as cold spraying and high energy spraying were recently developed, and suspension and precursors have begun being applied as feedstock. This development enabled researchers to obtain a new generation of ceramic coatings with different microstructure and different properties. It shows a new potential for this method.
The objective of this Special Issue is to present recent advances in thermal spray technology using plasma, flame and hot gas, and fundamentals of technology as well as new technological ideas related to process and to feedstock. Finally, the studies related to process modeling and simulation are also welcome. This issue is focussed on such applications as advanced TBC ceramic coatings, bioactive coatings in prostheses, the coatings on environmental protection, energy and power generation industries, photo-catalytic coatings, wear and corrosion resistant coatings. Papers related to coating testing methods and feedstock materials, including new materials for spraying, and the future possible fields of thermal sprayed coating applications are welcome.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
