Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Asphalt is the world’s most commonly used material in pavement engineering and protective coatings. Since the turn of the 21st century, the emergence of advanced functional materials and the development of interdisciplinary approaches have enabled the design and construction of greener asphalt materials. Over the past decades, the composition and properties of asphalt paving materials have changed substantially. Developing green, sustainable, and functional asphalt materials remains a pressing for researchers worldwide.
This Special Issue highlights the latest advances in green asphalt materials and their applications. The contributions collected will help chart future directions for functional asphalt research and practice.
We welcome original research articles and reviews. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Applications of novel materials in asphalt pavement coatings;
- Polymer-based bonding materials for asphalt surface treatment;
- Polymer- and fiber-modified asphalt for surface treatment;
- Water-based, resin-modified emulsified asphalt for pavement coatings;
- Temperature-reduced production and paving of asphalt mixtures;
- Cracking behavior and self-healing of asphalt mixtures in surface applications;
- Pervious asphalt concrete for pavement surfaces;
- Prevention and control of asphalt fume emissions;
- Materials for catalytic degradation of automotive exhaust;
- Recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement;
- Biomass-derived asphalt binders for surface treatments.
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-anonymized 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.
