Description
This course brings together cutting-edge research on sustainable, high-performance cementitious composites, highlighting nanomaterials and innovative binders that address both performance and environmental challenges. Presentations cover a range of topics: regulating C–S–H with cellulose nanocrystals, in-situ dispersion of nano-CaCO₃ through CO₂ mineralization, bio-derived graphene oxide admixtures, and low-carbon calcined clay-based binders with nanomaterials. Collectively, these talks showcase breakthroughs that enhance mechanical properties, durability, and sustainability while significantly lowering the carbon footprint of concrete.
