Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of science and technology, the crossover and diversification of disciplines have produced new technologies and techniques, so more and more new technologies and methods are applied to the development of construction materials, making the development of construction materials change day by day. The research on construction materials always aims at the frontier of high-tech development, based on the theory of mechanics, and constantly absorbs the latest research results of mechanics and related disciplines to enrich itself and better solve engineering problems and refine new ideas, new principles, and new methods, with the characteristics of both theoretical and applied research and multidisciplinary crossover. The study of the mechanical properties of construction materials has been cross-developed with modern engineering science and technology to become the basis of aviation and aerospace, machinery, automation technology, materials and processing, and biomedical materials science, with a wide range, complexity, and diversity, reflecting the interdisciplinary development and mutual promotion, as well as the fundamental and essential role of mechanics, in solving major engineering and technology problems.
The scope of this Special Issue is to collect original fundamental and applied research from experimental, theoretical, computational, and case studies that contribute to the understanding of basic theory, applied technology, and advanced research methods of construction materials and other related materials. This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No.51978401) and Natural Science Foundation Project of Shanghai Science and Technology Commission (23ZR1443600).
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue.

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.
