Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solid waste-based building materials and environmental functional materials play an important role in resource protection, waste reduction, environmentally friendly and sustainable development, economic benefits, etc. It is extremely important to encourage the preparation and wide application of solid waste-based building materials in order to establish a sustainable society and environment.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in the recycling of waste materials into geopolymer concrete and environmental functional materials. It seeks to bring together researchers from various fields, including physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering, to contribute their expertise to the discussion of defects in soft matter.
The Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics related to the complete use of resources, and defects in waste materials including coal gangue, fly ash, tailings, industrial by-product gypsum, smelting slag, construction waste, and crop straw.
Contributions in the form of full papers, communications, and reviews are welcomed. The submitted manuscripts should address the recycling and harmless treatment of solid waste, as well as characterize the pollution sources of solid waste. The goal of this Special Issue is to strengthen the material application of solid waste in order to advance the development of a circular economy.
