Properties and Applications of Cement-Based Composites (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

Cement is an indispensable binder for modern construction and has been used for structural and nonstructural purposes for centuries. Although cement is sometimes neglected because it is a very familiar material, it is also one of the most stable binders available to humans, offering infinite possibilities. Various types of inorganic binders similar to cement have been proposed for full replacement or partial inclusion in order to provide construction materials with unique properties. Moreover, cement can be seen not only as a basic material for concrete but also as a functional binder that is different from metals or polymers. This Special Issue aims to expand the knowledge on new types of properties and application areas for cement composites.

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.
