Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene oxide (GO) have been widely applied to cementitious composites to enhance their mechanical performance. In addition to mechanical properties, carbon-based nanomaterials can enhance the electrical and thermal properties of cementitious composites. This allows conventional cement-based materials to achieve multiple functions. In this regard, this Special Issue invites original experimental and theoretical research articles on nano-enhanced cementitious composites to contribute to our understanding of their performance in more detail.
The goal of this Special Issue is to disseminate original research and review studies that address (experimental or theoretical) advances, trends, challenges, and future perspectives regarding the development, mixture, characterization, and use of carbon nanotubes for cementitious composites.
The topics proposed for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Dispersion, mixture, and hydration of CNT cementitious composites;
- Enhancement of the mechanical properties of cementitious composites;
- Multi-functional application (sensing, heating, curing, etc.);
- Effects of CNTs on the durability and long-term performance of cementitious composites;
- Development of new efficient and sustainable construction materials based on carbon-based nanomaterials;
- Innovative applications for the construction industry.
I hope you will contribute your high-quality research, and I look forward to reading your valuable results.
Dr. Wonseok Chung

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. Applied Sciences 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.
