Functional Coatings for Metallic and Ceramic Materials

Coatings are used today in many areas of human activity. It was traditionally believed that their main applications were only protecting against corrosion and giving decorative properties to various materials, but recently, the functions of coatings have expanded significantly.

These are, for example, antireflective coatings for glasses or radars, thin films on the surface of parts of fuel and solar cells, antibacterial applications, and many other multi-functional coatings.

This reprint contains research papers united by the general concept of functional coatings. A wide range of technologies were used to obtain the coatings, such as plasma electrolytic oxidation, electrodeposition, metallic suspension inject printing, metal inert gas arc welding, laser-oriented deposition, etc., as well as very different analytical methods for studying the results obtained.
