Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our Special Issue is titled “Advanced Asphalt Composite Materials”. The development of advanced materials for asphalt composites is crucial for the evolution of pavement engineering, focusing on enhancing performance, sustainability, and resilience. This Special Issue will highlight groundbreaking research and developments in this field, addressing pressing challenges associated with asphalt pavements.
Our focus encompasses two primary areas: innovative asphalt composite materials and their advanced characterization. Exploring novel materials and their properties under various conditions is essential for improving pavement durability and environmental impact. In addition, the advancement of characterization techniques provides deeper insights into the behaviors and performances of these materials, leading to more effective and sustainable applications.
We invite contributions that explore the development and optimization of new asphalt composites, including the integration of recycled and sustainable materials. Research on advanced testing methods, performance evaluation, and the computational modeling of asphalt composites is also welcome. By fostering the exchange of ideas and solutions in these areas, we will advance the field of asphalt pavement engineering and enable the creation of more sustainable infrastructure.

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. Journal of Composites Science 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 1800 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.
