Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, convergence and sustainable development have emerged as global issues. The construction industry is also making great efforts toward achieving sustainable development, such as reducing its emissions of greenhouse gases and developing eco-friendly building materials. In particular, in the field of building materials, various efforts are being made to achieve sustainable development, such as the development of convergence technology with other academic fields and the use of eco-friendly materials.
By using convergence technology and eco-friendly materials in the construction industry, it is possible to supplement the shortcomings of building materials, to improve their mechanical properties and durability, and to contribute to sustainable development.
From this perspective, this Special Issue deals with convergence and sustainable technologies in building materials.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Prof. Dr. Se-Jin Choi
Guest Editor
