Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Materials (MDPI), entitled 'Advanced Materials for Pavement and Road Infrastructure', aims to provide researchers and scientists with a unique and rewarding opportunity to present new and emerging ideas related to this important topic. With the rapid evolution of technologies and the increasing complexity of the technical challenges associated with pavement and road infrastructure, this Special Issue comes at a pivotal time.
Researchers and scientists in the relevant fields are therefore invited to submit original contributions related to topics including, but not limited to, innovative or high-performance materials for pavement systems, sustainability, resilience and recycling, emerging or smart materials and technologies, and methods for the advanced design and optimization of road materials.
