Advances in Pavement Asphalt Recycling

Dear Colleagues,

Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has garnered increased attention owing to the substantial cost, resource, and environmental advantages it offers. Nevertheless, despite the fact that many projects have initiated the utilization of RAP materials, the efficient employment of such materials still encounters numerous challenges. Presently, the main efforts are centered on augmenting the proportion of RAP in new mixtures, while concurrently enhancing the road performance properties of mixtures containing RAP. Numerous profound accomplishments regarding RAP are being achieved annually from both academic and industrial perspectives, and, therefore, Materials would like to launch a Special Issue devoted to “Advances in Pavement Asphalt Recycling”, calling for papers focused on, but not limited to, the following topics:

(1) Successful case studies on the application of RAP materials in engineering.

(2) Research into the utilization of high-content RAP materials in pavement recycling technology.

(3) The exploration and advancement of highly efficient and eco-friendly rejuvenators.

(4) Multi-scale modeling of recycled asphalt mixtures.

(5) Blending mechanisms of recycled asphalt mixtures.

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. 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.
