Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing focus on carbon neutrality and climate change, the global demand for sustainable construction has grown. In the field of construction materials, many innovations have been devised in the development of advanced sustainable materials, such as ultra-high-performance concrete, recycled concrete, carbon-negative concrete, and alkali-activated concrete. Additionally, new construction technologies, such as 3D-printed concrete and prefabricated and prefinished volumetric construction, have also been developed. These innovations have enabled constructions to be more durable, sustainable, resilient, and energy efficient. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to introduce the latest developments and advances in sustainable construction materials. It will provide a platform for exchanging ideas, disseminating significant advances, and sharing concepts and visions regarding the design, preparation, evaluation, and performance optimization of new concrete materials. This Special Issue also welcomes contributions from academics and practitioners on the innovations and applications of new construction materials. Original research papers, case studies, and review papers are all 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. Sustainability 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 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.
