Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of coatings is widely considered as an efficient way to enable metals and alloys to prolong their tribological properties, such as the friction and wear resistance of contacting surfaces in relative motion. A large number of novel materials have been designed to develop tribologically compatible coatings with exceptional wear resistance and low friction. These coating materials can be classified into three types: epoxy-based coating, metal-based coatings, and ceramic-based coatings. Although notable studies have been carried out on the preparation and mechanical properties of coatings for anti-friction purposes, further new design, synthesis, simulation, and experimental techniques are required to significantly improve the tribological properties of coatings.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following concepts:
- Recent developments and application in anti-friction coatings.
- Friction and wear properties of coatings.
- Theoretical and experimental research about tribological properties of coatings.
- Modeling, simulation to predict tribological properties in various environments.
- Tribo-corrosion characteristics of coatings in some corrosive fields.
We would like to invite you to submit your original scientific contributions (full paper, communication, or review article) to this Special Issue “Tribological Properties of Coatings” of Lubricants.

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. Lubricants 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 2600 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.
