Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite researchers and experts to contribute to this Special Issue, entitled "Advances in Nanomaterials for Cement-Based and Self-Healing Materials." This Special Issue aims to explore cutting-edge research and innovations at the intersection of nanotechnology and construction materials, specifically emphasizing cement-based materials and self-healing capabilities.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nanomaterials for enhancing the mechanical properties of cement-based composites.
- Nano-reinforcements and their impact on the durability and longevity of construction materials.
- Self-healing mechanisms facilitated by nanomaterials in cementitious systems.
- Nano-modification of cementitious binders for improved resistance to environmental factors.
- Smart sensors and monitoring systems employing nanotechnology for structural health assessment in cement-based structures.
- Innovations in synthesizing and applying nanomaterials for sustainable and eco-friendly construction practices.
- Case studies demonstrating successful implementation of nanotechnology in real-world construction projects.
Researchers are encouraged to submit original research papers, review articles, and case studies that contribute to understanding the synergies between nanomaterials and cement-based materials, as well as advancements in self-healing capabilities. The Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaborations and promote knowledge exchange in this rapidly evolving field.

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.
