The relentless demand for energy efficiency in our carbon-constrained world has exposed a critical challenge: nearly a quarter of all industrial energy is dissipated through friction and wear. This silent crisis finds its solution in the atomic-scale world of advanced coatings, where materials science meets tribological innovation. Coating technology thus emerges as a critical solution, offering transformative potential for addressing friction- and wear-induced energy losses. Advanced coatings are revolutionizing mechanical systems by fundamentally transforming surface interactions. Through innovative material engineering, these cutting-edge solutions simultaneously achieve self-lubricating functionality, dramatically reduce dependence on traditional lubricants, and push wear resistance to unprecedented levels. In the context of a global shift towards more efficient and sustainable technologies, continuous engagement with the latest developments in hard coating research is imperative. This Special Issue unveils the next frontier: coatings that do not just resist wear, but actively participate in energy systems. The frontier of coating technology now extends beyond traditional tribological applications, with promising developments in areas as diverse as biomedical implants and space exploration hardware. This Special Issue also brings together pioneering research and insightful critical reviews on the newest innovations, boldest ideas, and most promising real-world applications of hard coatings across all systems. Get ready to explore the future of surface engineering!

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
