Funded Activity Summary

Probing interaction between cement and nanoparticles at micro/nano scale. With the advancement of nanotechnology, nanomaterials have been used as fillers to reinforce ordinary Portland cement. The characterisation of the cement nanocomposites at micro/nano scales remains challenging. With support from the world class collaborating team, this project aims to investigate the interaction between cement and nanomaterials at micro/nano scales subjected to static, dynamic and bombardment loadings using cutting-edge techniques including focused ion beam, atomic force microscopy and atomistic modelling. The outcome will revolutionise the design of high performance cement nanocomposites as the next generation construction materials to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and promote sustainability.
