Surfaces, Coatings and Films

any adherent layer that covers a surface

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
