Aims & Scope

Protection of Metals and Physical Chemistry of Surfaces is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles covering all aspects of the physical chemistry of materials and interfaces in various environments. The journal covers all related problems of modern physical chemistry and materials science, including physicochemical processes at interfaces; adsorption phenomena; complexing from molecular and supramolecular structures at the interfaces to new substances, materials, and coatings; nanoscale and nanostructured materials and coatings, composed and dispersed materials; physicochemical problems of corrosion, degradation, and protection; investigation methods for surface and interface systems, processes, structures, materials, and coatings. No principle restrictions exist related to systems, types of processes, and methods of control and study. The journal features conceptual, theoretical, experimental, methodological, instrumental, environmental, and all other articles. The journal has the aim to become an international publication and publishes manuscripts originally submitted in English from all countries along with translated works.
