This project aims to develop an advanced construction material based on enrichment of concrete with carbon nanotubes (CNT). Concrete, the most consumed construction material globally, is brittle and needs embedded steel reinforcement. Concrete enriched with CNT, one of the strongest known fibres, may partially replace conventional bulky and heavier steel reinforcement thereby creating economies (e.g. thinner section sizes), and reduced carbon dioxide emissions by expending less steel and cement for construction. This project extends earlier research by the research team and aims to transform cement-CNT pastes into construction-scale concrete by resolving uncertainties associated with scaling.

该项目旨在开发一种基于碳纳米管（CNT）富集混凝土的先进建筑材料。混凝土是全球消耗最多的建筑材料，它很脆，需要嵌入钢筋。富含碳纳米管（CNT）的混凝土是已知最强的纤维之一，可以部分取代传统的笨重且较重的钢筋，从而创造经济（例如更薄的截面尺寸），并通过减少建筑用钢材和水泥的消耗来减少二氧化碳排放。该项目扩展了研究团队的早期研究，旨在通过解决与结垢相关的不确定性，将水泥-碳纳米管浆料转化为建筑规模的混凝土。
