专刊主题
专刊介绍 Pavement materials comprise a substantial proportion of natural resources used for building construction. However, there are many environmental concerns related to their applications and service life. Firstly, a huge amount of energy is consumed during their manufacture, transportation, and application. Secondly, the application of pavement materials will generate PM, VOC, and CO2. Thirdly, the aging characteristics of pavement materials will result in a reduction of service life, followed by energy and resource consumption, and finally aggravate the damage to the environment. These drawbacks of traditional pavement materials require sustainable and renewable paving materials and technologies, for instance, modified pavement materials with longer service life. Recycling technologies can save natural resources. Warm mix and cold mix can decrease the application temperature of asphalt mixture, resulting in less VOC emissions. All these innovative developments are becoming more and more important and attractive for researchers and practitioners in the road industry. The aim of this Special Issue of Materials is to attract articles on new materials and innovative technologies for achieving sustainable and renewable pavement materials. We welcome original research or review articles with a clear application focus in these areas. 期刊介绍 Materials（ISSN 1996-1944, IF=2.467）是MDPI旗下一个国际性的跨学科开放获取学术期刊，涵盖材料制备、表征及应用等各个研究领域。Materials 采取单盲同行评审，一审平均周期约为18天，文章从接收到发表仅需6天，从发表到被SCI检索约1-2个月。因此，如果论文质量有保障，则投稿到录用约1-2个月，速度算得上非常快。目前单篇论文的Open Access费用为1600瑞士法郎，约10600元人民币（随汇率波动）。 |
