Cement-based materials are hydraulic binders. Upon hydration, they produce materials with improved physical and mechanical properties. The nature of the cement-based materi‐

The book at hand, *Cement-Based Materials*, was compiled to represent advances in the devel‐ opment and application of these materials in different fields, which aim to ensure their sus‐ tainability. Carefully selected authorships from different countries contributed in this book. Within this book, the recent research activities in four topics related to "cement-based mate‐ rials" are included, namely, properties of cement-based materials, green cement, calcium phosphate cement, and alkali-activated cement. The book is dedicated to researchers and undergraduate students who are involved in these fields; we hope that this book is helpful and provides inspiration for readers during their work/studies. In addition, we strongly be‐ lieve that the issue also attracts the attention of representatives of the cement industry and

We provided the introductory chapter on cement-based materials, their properties, and their

We are tremendously optimistic that the exploratory and scientific attempts collected and summarized in the book at hand will encourage researchers all over the globe to deepen their activities in this field and to attract the interest of undergraduates as well as of progres‐ sive representatives from the relevant industrial sectors. Primarily, these activities shall boost the impatiently desired breakthrough of "cement" manufacturing processes, which

We especially acknowledge Ms. Anita Condic, Author Service Manager, for her successful cooperation, exceptional efforts, and prompt reply to our requests. Again, we would like to
