Sustainable Pavement Materials and Technology

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to invite to submit your papers to the Special Issue entitled “Sustainable Pavement Materials and Technology” of Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050). In recent years, the Pavement Materials and Technology community has focused most of its research efforts to minimize the environmental impact of the materials and procedures involved in pavement design, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation. In that process several new materials and techniques have been developed. Such is the case of bio-based rejuvenating agents, high-performance emulsions, efficient recycling techniques, mixtures with high rates of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), new analysis techniques to evaluate the amount of old binder available for the new mixture in the RAP, new techniques to reclaim concrete pavements, and several other new concepts. The main objective of this special issue is to collect the state-of-the-art materials and techniques that have been or are being developed right now by the leading experts of this field of knowledge. Hopefully, this special issue will become a collection of reference works regarding sustainable pavement techniques that will help future researchers to further reduce the carbon footprint of theses infrastructures.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Sustainability 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.
