Advanced Sustainable Materials and Technologies is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring the latest innovations in sustainable materials, construction technologies, and circular design practices. It provides a platform for research on green building materials, including reclaimed and biodegradable materials, as well as low-carbon alternatives for structural and insulation materials.
The journal also focuses on energy-efficient materials, such as high-performance insulation, aerogels, and smart windows, alongside sustainable construction techniques like 3D printing, prefabrication, and net-zero energy buildings. Research on alternative renewable materials, including agricultural waste-based composites, contributes to reducing the environmental impact of construction.
Advancements in carbon capture and storage are examined, particularly in CO₂-absorbing concrete and natural fiber composites. The journal highlights recycling and upcycling methods to extend the lifecycle of materials and technology-driven waste reduction strategies, such as AI-driven resource management and waste-to-energy conversion.
Innovations in smart materials and building systems include self-repairing materials, energy-harvesting surfaces, and climate-responsive materials that enhance efficiency and durability. The journal also explores integrated retrofit systems, including seismic-energy technologies, exoskeleton-based solutions, and structural health monitoring for building resilience.
To promote sustainable resource use, the journal covers water management solutions, eco-friendly manufacturing processes, and life cycle assessments for evaluating material impacts from production to disposal. It also investigates sustainable urban design, incorporating vegetation and renewable energy systems to enhance environmental quality.
By fostering collaboration among researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers, the journal aims to accelerate the development and implementation of resilient, low-impact, and high-performance materials and technologies. Its mission is to bridge scientific research with practical applications, driving the transition toward a more sustainable, efficient, and technologically advanced built environment.
