Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our Special Issue is focused on the application of alkali-activated binders in engineering, promising environmentally friendly materials used in buildings, roads, and for environmental remediation. These binders are prepared from industrial and construction waste containing Si and Al under the action of alkaline activators; they exhibit excellent mechanical properties and chemical durability. Different applications of alkali-activated binders have received widespread attention.
This Special Issue aims to publish innovative and original scientific research related to alkali-activated materials in the form of high-quality studies, literature reviews, and particularly important engineering application case studies. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Preparation, testing, and characterization of alkali-activated materials;
- Application of alkali-activated binders in environmental geotechnical engineering;
- Geopolymer technology;
- Solid-waste utilization based on alkaline-activated technology.

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.
