Innovative Construction and Building Materials

Recent research in construction and building materials has focused on the development and characterization of innovative materials to improve the quality of the overall infrastructure and lower the environmental impact. This leads to environmentally friendly (and sustainable) processes and circular economy.

Physicochemical studies have facilitated the recognition, definition, and assessment of several initiatives in this regard, leading to the identification of technologies, techniques, materials, and approaches with several benefits for the construction industry and its processes.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit papers for this Topic on “Innovative Construction and Building Materials”. Papers describing experimental results, applying techniques, and proposing models and analytical approaches for developments in the field of construction and building materials, as well as reviews, opinions, commentaries, and comments and reports, are welcome.

Research topics include but are not limited to:

• Functional innovative materials;
• Sustainable processes;
• Composites;
• New materials from wastes;
• Synthesis of novel materials;
• Characterization techniques;
• New aspects in constructions and building materials.

We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Topic which will provide an overview of the high-quality research going on in the physico-chemistry (synthesis and development) of innovative materials for application in the construction industry.
