Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the world has begun to see opportunities for the application and development of sustainable alkali-activated materials based on natural deposits as well as post-process products.
There has been a great increase in research and interest in geopolymer materials. The possibilities for the use of such materials seem unlimited, and their application has been recognized in almost all fields of technology.
The main purpose of this Special Issue is to invite researchers to publish innovative research and critical analysis related to the manufacture, processing and synthesis of geopolymers and composites based on geopolymers or alkali-activated materials. In this issue, we encourage the sharing of innovative research in all areas centered around geopolymers.

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. Minerals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
