Advanced Civil Engineering Materials: From Synthesis to Application

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, much progress has been made in the development of advanced civil engineering materials. This progress has largely concerned the synthesis of new materials, the modification of the material composition of traditional materials, and recycling. This multidisciplinary approach has been used to develop innovative products and materials with new or improved properties. Their application can accelerate economic development and contribute to improving the security and standard of living of a region’s inhabitants. An indispensable element of meeting this challenge is the development of new construction materials that are both of high strength and durability and safe for humans and the environment. This development should be carried out in accordance with principles of sustainable development and economically sensible. Thanks to nanotechnology and biotechnology, it is now possible to design and modify the structure of materials to obtain a construction product with the desired functional properties. With this in mind, this Topical Collection will be devoted to advanced civil engineering materials. Particular emphasis will be placed on their synthesis and application. We welcome experimental articles, review articles, and case studies demonstrating the application potential of advanced civil engineering materials.

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.
