Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue entitled "Bioinspired Strategies for Composite Coatings" aims to present recent research on any aspect of composite materials. Some of its focal points include, but are not limited to, the following:

Structural design and control of polymer materials based on the structure of animals and plants in nature.

Study about the performance of polymer materials through biomimetic structural design, such as anti-corrosion, barrier, mechanical, etc. 

The applications about anti-corrosion coatings, barrier coatings, high-performance coating or composites.

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely investigated as surface modifiers; nevertheless, most methods still require the pretreatment of surfaces and several steps to control coating efficiency and patterns for improved functionality. We developed functionalized AuNPs through borate-protected dopamine (B-AuNPs). The simple activation of B-AuNPs with a strong acid to remove the protected borate groups produces adhesive dopamine AuNPs (D-AuNPs). D-AuNP-coated surfaces with varied but controlled features and properties such as coating density and surface pattern were achieved using D-AuNPs with a precisely controlled dopamine density and coating conditions. Such adhesive and easily manipulated AuNPs provide a facile and time-saving technology to achieve sophisticated surface coatings using AuNPs. Full article
