Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of construction materials has become increasingly prominent in the building industry. Research into sustainable construction materials has garnered significant interest from both researchers and builders. As a result, extensive research has led to the successful development and application of various sustainable materials in construction projects. However, achieving high efficiency and the full utilization of these low-carbon materials still requires ongoing research and innovation.
This Special Issue, “Low-carbon Concrete and Cement-Based Materials Towards Sustainable Construction”, focuses on the latest advancements in sustainable construction materials, including recycled concrete aggregates. It encompasses both experimental and theoretical innovations related to sustainable materials. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following aspects:
(1) The development of sustainable construction materials;
(2) The fundamental performance characteristics of sustainable construction materials;
(3) The strength and durability of sustainable construction materials;
(4) The multi-application pathways and evaluation of sustainable construction materials;
(5) Technologies and design methods for improving the performance of sustainable building materials;
(6) The low-carbon analysis and assessment of sustainable construction materials;
(7) The economic analysis of applying proposed sustainable construction materials;
(8) Low-carbon and intelligence construction technologies (3D printing, etc.).

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
