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.

《表面與涂層技術》是一本國際檔案期刊，發表有關表面和界面工程重大發展的科學論文，旨在修改和改善材料的表面特性，以在苛刻的接觸條件或腐蝕性環境中提供保護，或提高功能性能。投稿范圍從涉及金屬、無機、有機和復合涂層研究或直接應用的基礎和應用方面的原創科學文章，到特定領域當前技術的受邀評論。提交給本期刊的論文應符合以下工藝、特性/性能方面的內容：
