Research on Low Carbonization Application of Magnesia-Based Cementitious Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Cement is a very common and important material in civil engineering construction, which includes: CaO-based cement and MgO-based cement. Magnesia-based cement has many advantages over calcium cement in terms of performance, but its shortcomings also limit its applications in civil engineering. In recent years, a large amount of fruitful theoretical and applied research has been conducted on the defects of magnesia-based cement, including magnesium phosphate cement, modified magnesium oxysulfide cement, basic magnesium sulfate cement, and magnesium oxychloride cement. Additionally, the application of CO₂ and solid waste in magnesia-based cement is a research hotspot for energy conservation, emission reduction, and the sustainable development of building materials.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
