Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of the current Special Issue is to present the state-of-the-art advances in the sustainability of asphalt, concrete, and pavement materials regarding their design, performance, and characterization. As a result of the rapid development in both construction and technologies in the field of pavement engineering, it is essential to pay more attention to the issue of sustainability, and thus, it is crucial to gather relevant state-of-the-art knowledge. Researchers and scientists within the fields of pavement engineering and materials are therefore invited to submit original contributions related, but not limited, to areas such as asphalt binders, asphalt mixtures, cement concrete, materials within different layers of pavement, mixture design, performance evaluation, damage mechanisms, feature characterization, and methods for design and construction. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Interdisciplinary domains are welcomed to provide novel and sophisticated methods as scalable solutions. Submissions of original research and review articles are encouraged.

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.
