Funded Activity Summary
Tensile enhancement of cements utilising carbon nanotubes to create stronger, lighter, more ductile, and easier-to-build structures. Portland cement, commonly used worldwide for construction, is brittle and prone to cracking. A carbon nanotube-cement nanocomposite will be developed, improving tensile strength and durability. Stronger and lighter structures are viable. Less cement (and steel reinforcement) will be needed, thus reducing CO2 emissions and promoting sustainability.Funded Activity Details
