Preparation and Properties of New Cementitious Materials (Second Volume)

Dear Colleagues,

Cement is the second most used material on Earth after water. The cement industry is one of the major producers of greenhouse gas emissions and is responsible for at least 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, due to the rapid population growth, the construction of infrastructures is booming significantly. To keep up with this demand, the cement and construction industries continuously mine valuable materials resources. Therefore, to reserve scarce natural resources and cut down on carbon emissions, new cementitious materials and binders have been recently developed and evaluated for various applications. This Special Issue focuses on novel and fundamental research that paves the way toward developing new cementitious materials and binders.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
