Projects
In our pursuit to revolutionize the construction industry with sustainable and smart materials, we spearhead a range of projects that stand testament to our commitment towards innovation and environmental conservation. Here’s a glimpse of some of the projects we are currently involved in and those that we have successfully completed:
Ongoing
![Carbon Capture and Utilization](/materialx/images/carbon_capture.png)
Carbon is permanently stored in cementitious materials to improve performance and improve sustainability.
![Utilization of mining wastes in cementitious materials](/materialx/images/utilization_of_mining.png)
Optimization and engineering of mine tailings and waste rocks as various components of cementitious materials.
![Life cycle assessment of low carbon materials](/materialx/images/life_cycle_assessment.png)
Comprehensive evaluation of the sustainability and economic benefits of various construction materials
![Use of recycled/waste materials](/materialx/images/recycled_materials.png)
Use of various industrial and agricultural waste/recycled products as replacement of binder and/or aggregate components in cementitious materials such as concrete
![Development of hempcrete](/materialx/images/hempcrete.png)
Use of hemp by-products in the production of various low-carbon alternative construction materials with good thermal insulation properties.
Completed
![Performance and sustainability improvement of fibre-reinforced cementitious materials](/materialx/images/fibre.png)
Significant reduction in the embodied carbon and performance improvement of FRCCs through material design and use of alternative binders.
![Development of thermal efficient mortars](/materialx/images/thermal_efficient.png)
Use of expanded glass to develop lightweight cementitious materials with good thermal insulation properties.
![Utilization of uncalcined clay in cementitious materials](/materialx/images/uncalcined.png)
Development of structural and non-structural low-carbon cementitious materials using locally sourced uncalcined clay.
![Investigation of the role of moisture in alkali-silica reaction](/materialx/images/alkali_silica.png)
Evaluating the role of moisture and temperature in the initiation and propagation of alkali-silica reactions in cementitious materials.
