Green Asphalt Materials—Surface Engineering and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Asphalt is commonly used in the construction of pavement engineering works and coatings. Since entering the 21st century, the emergence of new functional materials and the development of interdisciplinary research have provided strong support for the design and construction of all kinds of green asphalt materials. In recent decades, the composition and properties of asphalt paving materials have changed dramatically. The development of green, sustainable, and functional materials is a new challenge that researchers worldwide are facing to tackle the aforementioned needs.

This Special Issue shall highlight the latest trends in novel green asphalt materials with special functions. The forwarding of this research will guide the development direction of functional asphalt materials.

Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Applications of novel materials in asphalt pavement materials;
• Polymer bonding materials;
• Polymer and fiber-modified asphalt materials;
• Water-based resin-modified emulsified asphalt;
• Temperature-reduced production and paving of asphalt mixtures;
• Cracking and healing in asphalt mixtures;
• Pervious asphalt concrete;
• Asphalt fume pollution prevention and control;
• Automotive exhaust degradation materials;
• Recycling for waste asphalt pavement materials;
• Biomass asphalt material.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
