Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, carbon reduction has become an issue due to global climate change. For the sustainable construction industry, research on green composite concrete materials using carbon capture and utilization technology is being actively conducted. In this regard, this Special Issue invites original research articles dealing with experimental and theoretical studies of green composite concrete materials that contribute to our understanding of their performances.

The goal of this Special Issue is to disseminate original research and review studies that address the (experimental or theoretical) advances, trends, challenges, and future perspectives regarding the development, mixture, characterization, and use of green composite concrete materials. The following are some of the topics proposed for this Special Issue:

  • The dispersion, mixture, and hydration of green composite concrete materials;
  • The enhancement of mechanical properties of green composite concrete materials;
  • Multi-functional application (sensing, heating, and curing);
  • The effect of green composite concrete materials on durability and long-term performance;
  • CO2 valorization, sequestration, and utilization by green composite concrete materials;
  • Developing new efficient and sustainable construction materials using carbon-neutral technology;
  • Innovative applications for the construction industry.

We look forward to reading your valuable results.

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. 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.
