Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To meet the challenges related to climate change issues, the construction industry is changing in terms of the manufacturing processes of the materials as well as the used mixes. The use of local resources, low-carbon materials, and byproducts constitutes the first lever with, for example, the appearance of new concretes based on binders using less clinker without affecting the performance.
On the other hand, these composites can also be used to achieve these objectives when they are combined with cutting-edge techniques (e.g., pumping, rendering) or automated ones (e.g., 3D printing).
This Special Issue on “Innovative Processes for the Development of Advanced Sustainable Composite Materials” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest novel advances on the use of innovative process in construction industry. Articles focusing on advanced sustainable materials and innovative process are especially welcome.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Ecomaterials;
- Innovative processes;
- Additive manufacturing for civil engineering applications;
- Active quality control.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
