Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to reduce CO2 emissions to develop a sustainable society, further improvement in mechanical properties and durability of construction materials is desired. In particular, it is necessary to understand alkali-activated and cementitious materials, which are most widely used as construction material. Understanding these materials from the nano-level to the macro-level is the key to improving transport and mechanical properties. In recent years, the development of new materials and analytical techniques in this field has been remarkable. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to highlight and share recent findings in developing alkali-activated and cementitious materials. This Special Issue calls for papers on, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Transport properties of alkali-activated and cementitious materials;
- Mechanical behavior of alkali-activated and cementitious materials;
- Characterization of alkali-activated and cementitious materials;
- Evaluation of environmental impact of alkali-activated and cementitious materials;
- Modeling of alkali-activated and cementitious materials.
It is my great pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for publication in this Special Issue.
Prof. Kiyofumi Kurumisawa

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.
