Description

Hybrid nanoreinforced recycled concrete for sustainable building. This project aims to develop a durable recycled concrete using nanotechnology that can store and release thermal energy in response to temperature changes. This research will unveil fundamental insights into producing defect-free few-layer graphene dispersion from graphite and will explore hybrid nano-reinforcing effect on properties of phase change material-infused recycled concrete to address critical issues of poor bonding, porous microstructure and low thermal performance. The expected outcome is to develop a sustainable building material that can significantly reduce energy demand for heating and cooling in buildings, contributing to a net-zero emissions future and cost savings in the construction industry..
