This review reports recent developments of new coatings and surface treatments for aerospace bodies and structures. Advances in the field have been driven by the need for materials with improved performance characteristics and also by environmental legislative pressures. The traditional areas are corrosion and wear resistance, although interest in other properties and the increasing use of composites continue to emerge. Intensive research efforts continue to be directed to finding and developing new coating materials for aerospace bodies and structures. Corrosion and wear resistance are still receiving the greatest focus, although other properties, such as IR transmittance, emissivity, de-icing and hydrophobicity, thermal barriers, EM shielding and pressure sensitivity, amongst others, are also being investigated. Composites, both as substrates, for weight reduction, and coatings, are showing ever-increasing promise in these fields.
