Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cement is the second most used material on Earth after water. The cement industry is one of the major producers of greenhouse gas emissions and is responsible for at least 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, due to rapid population growth, the construction of infrastructure is booming. To maintain this high demand, the cement and construction industries continuously mine valuable materials and resources. Therefore, to reserve scarce natural resources and diminish carbon emissions, new cementitious materials and binders have been recently developed and evaluated for various applications. This Special Issue focuses on novel and fundamental research that paves the way for the development of new cementitious materials and binders.
