Summary
We are pleased to introduce this special issue dedicated to Nano-Engineered Cementitious Composites. Nano-engineering has emerged as a powerful paradigm for advancing cementitious composites, enabling both fundamental understanding and bottom-up regulating of the composites. By bridging nanoscale structures and macroscale performance, nano-engineering provides new opportunities for developing high-performance, durable, multifunctional, and sustainable cementitious composites.
This special issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research that advances the scientific understanding and engineering applications of nano-engineered cementitious composites. Contributions are encouraged that explore fundamental mechanisms, innovative material design, advanced manufacturing technologies, multiscale characterization techniques, numerical modelling approaches, and practical engineering implementations. Submissions may include original research articles, reviews, or short communications. Specific themes of interest include, but are not limited to:
1. Design principles and theories of nano-engineered cementitious composites;
2. Synthesis, functionalization, and dispersion nanomaterials for engineering cementitious composites;
3. Advanced processing and fabrication techniques for nano-engineered cementitious composites;
4. Nano- and micro-structural characterization of nano-engineered cementitious composites;
5. Mechanical properties and durability of nano-engineered cementitious composites;
6. Multifunctional nano-engineered cementitious composites, e.g., self-sensing, self-healing, or energy-harvesting functionalities;
7. Atomic and molecular modelling and simulation of cementitious composites;
8. Long-term performance, degradation mechanisms, lifecycle assessment, and sustainability evaluation of nano-engineered cementitious composites;
9. Engineering applications and case studies of nano-engineered cementitious composites in smart, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure.
