Novel Cementitious Materials

Dear colleagues,

Cementitious material is the artificially engineered material produced in the largest quantities. Many novel cementitious materials were developed and used in different industries, such as UHPC, ECC, geopolymers, some non-Portland cements, etc. They show many special and interesting properties which could be useful to satisfy the increasingly demanding requirements on mechanical and durability properties of infrastructures under heavy load built in severe environments. The relationship of their composition, microstructure, and properties has been under intensive study in recent decades. Therefore, this Special Issue invites the submission of works related to the preparation and microstructural characteristics of novel cementitious materials, as well as their properties and applications in different fields. The Special Issue may be very useful for the readers to gain a greater understanding of novel cementitious materials. For the authors, the Issue will be a good opportunity for publication after peer review by expert researchers in cementitious materials. Review articles by experts in the field will also be welcome.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
