Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, titled “Geopolymers and Low Carbon Building Materials for Infrastructures”. The construction industry is a significant source of carbon emissions. The large-scale application of geopolymers to replace cement can effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions while consuming substantial amounts of industrial solid waste, making it a crucial approach for the construction industry to achieve carbon reduction and emission mitigation. This Special Issue aims to collate articles on the latest advancements in geopolymers and other low-carbon building materials, with a special focus on geopolymer, engineered geopolymer composites, low carbon materials, low carbon infrastructures, life cycle assessment, sustainable construction, fiber-reinforced composite, etc.

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. Buildings 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.
