Nanomaterials for sustainable construction

To address the increasing need to reduce CO2 emissions in the construction industry, researchers have investigated the potential of decreasing the amount of cement used in concrete production. By incorporating our carbon nanomaterials into these materials, we can reduce the carbon footprint while also improving mechanical properties and achieving more precise control over setting times.

Unlocking new properties

This innovative approach is leading to the development of cementitious matrices with advanced thermal and electrical characteristics, thus driving innovation in the sector. In addition, this evolution in construction materials extends to acrylic or silicone-based coatings, where the addition of our specifically designed carbon nanofibers enhances their intrinsic properties and confers specific qualities, such as increased abrasion resistance, improved adhesion and enhanced thermal dissipation capabilities.
