Construction Materials and Other Related Materials: Basic Theory, Applied Technology and Advanced Research Methods (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

The development of science and technology has led to the crossover and diversification of disciplines, which in turn have promoted the fabrication of new technologies and techniques to produce construction materials. The research on construction materials primarily focuses on high-tech development based on the theoretical and applied principles of mechanics and related disciplines, allowing us to better solve engineering problems and refine novel ideas, principles, and methods with multidisciplinary characteristics. The study of the mechanical properties of construction materials has been cross-developed with modern engineering science and technology,  which forms the basis of aviation and aerospace, machinery, automation technology, materials and processing, and biomedical materials science, with broad complexity and diversity, reflecting its interdisciplinary development nature as well as its fundamental role in solving major engineering and technology problems.

The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original and applied experimental, theoretical and computational research as well as case studies that contribute to the understanding of basic theory, applied technology and advanced research methods of construction and other related materials. This initiative is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No.51978401) and Natural Science Foundation Project of Shanghai Science and Technology Commission (23ZR1443600).

We cordially invite you to submit your manuscripts to this Special Issue.

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.
