Construction Materials: Corrosion, Prevention and Protection
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, construction materials are facing a revolution triggered by eco-sustainability paradigms and supported by design effectiveness, cost saving, esthetic, and functional impacts. Such an approach has driven both research and industry towards the development of innovative, high-performance, and durable engineering materials, paving the way for effective material selection strategies and the appropriate design of protection or prevention systems to ensure the prolonged service life of construction materials. Materials degradation and corrosion are time-dependent phenomena, which are capable of strongly affecting the service life of materials, compromising the functionality and performances. This may lead, in the case of wrong material selection or on-filed execution, to the need for premature maintenance or component replacement to prevent dramatic failures, dramatically affecting two pillars of construction materials: safety and sustainability. The Special Issue purpose aims to give a complete overview of innovative and traditional construction materials and of prevention or protection systems, such as coatings, inhibitors and cathodic protection, with a specific focus on corrosion and durability. Papers related to corrosion protection, prevention, repair strategies, life cycle assessment, and design practices as well as modeling are welcome. We look forward to your contributions.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
