- Additional information
- Funded by ERC-H2020 (799658_B-SMART), this output describes an approach to design novel sustainable/resilient cementitious composites using newly developed graphene-like nanoplatelets synthesised from vegetable waste. This is the first 2D-nanomaterial of its kind that outperforms graphene for creating greener and stronger construction materials. The output was invited to BBC world service roundtable discussion in conjunction with the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit in New York (sarah.treanor@bbc.co.uk). The industrial exploitation of this output is currently in progress in partnership with our industrial partner Cellucomp ltd (eric.whale@cellucom.com). Cellucomp and Lancaster University are currently developing a large-scale concrete production procedure for the stakeholders.
