The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal's requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as:

• Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
• Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials
• Performance, testing and analysis.

Special issue information:

The 13th International Workshop on “Application of Electrochemical Techniques to Organic Coatings (AETOC)” took place in Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands, 28-31 May 2024.

Following the tradition of the previous editions, a Special Issue of papers devoted to the lectures discussed during the conference will be accommodated by Elsevier’s Progress in Organic Coatings. 

The AETOC workshop deals with all topics related to recent developments in the application of electrochemical techniques to the study and monitoring of organic coatings, as well as novel hybrid sol-gel and composite coatings with self-healing and protective properties. This may also include new emerging directions of coating studies such as computational methods and machine learning approaches towards further understanding and developing corrosion inhibitor systems and active protective coatings.

Manuscript submission information:

The journal’s submission platform (Editorial Manager®) will be available for receiving submissions to this Special Issue. Please refer to the Guide for Authors to prepare your manuscript, and select the article type of "VSI: AETOC2024" when submitting your manuscript online. Both the Guide for Authors and the submission portal could be found on the Journal Homepage here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/progress-in-organic-coatings

All the submissions deemed suitable to be sent for peer review will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Upon its editorial acceptance, your article will go into production immediately. It will be published in the latest regular issue, while be presented on the specific Special Issue webpage simultaneously. In regular issues, Special Issue articles will be clearly marked and branded.

Submission deadline: 1-Dec-2024

This is an invited-only special issue.
