Impact of the addition of a newly developed bioresin called Biofusion on the strength of concrete

混凝土是世界上最常见的建筑材料，是建筑的主要组成部分。集料材料通常占混凝土体积的70%左右，它们的生产会导致二氧化碳排放过量。例如，生产水泥并将其用作混凝土粘结剂是二氧化碳排放量最高的过程之一，从而导致气候变化。建筑业碳排放的任何减少都将有助于提高该行业的长期可持续性，并有助于环境保护。减少建筑业水泥使用量的一个潜在解决方案是在混凝土配合比中使用新开发的生物树脂BioFusion。BioFusion生物树脂由BioDiffect Technologies Inc.(BDT)制造，是一种由天然树脂生产的工程有机乳液。它是一种无毒、无害、不溶出的乳状液。这里的实验计划重点是确定生物融合生物树脂对混凝土强度的影响。因此，使用生物树脂的混凝土的强度和耐久性将与不使用生物树脂的混凝土进行比较。五名高素质的人员(HQP：1名博士后；1名博士后；2名硕士研究生和1名本科生)将在该项目期间通过实验研究和与业界的互动获得宝贵的技能。BDT是主要的合作伙伴组织，将在这一合作研究计划的活动和成功中发挥关键作用。BDT是一家自豪的加拿大公司，它拥抱了可持续发展议程，在制造工艺和回收材料的使用方面进行了切实的改进。BDT有很大的能力将本文开发的研究成果转化为实践，因为他们负责多个市场领域的商业应用的BioFusion生物树脂的制造和供应。

Concrete, the most common construction material in the world, represents the main component of construction. Aggregate materials normally occupy about 70% of the concrete volume and their production results in excessive emission of carbon dioxide. For instance, the production of cement and its use in concrete as a binder is one of the highest carbon dioxide producing processes, thereby contributing to climate change. Any decrease in carbon emissions from construction will help improve the long-term sustainability of the industry and help the environment. One potential solution to reduce the amount of cement used in the construction industry is to use the newly developed bioresin Biofusion in the concrete mix. The Biofusion bioresin, manufactured by Biodiffusion Technologies Inc. (BDT), is an engineered organic emulsion produced from naturally occurring resins. It is a non-toxic, non-hazardous, and non-leaching emulsion. The experimental program herein focuses on determining the impact of the Biofusion bioresin to the strength of concrete. As such, the strength and durability of concrete with the bioresin will be compared to that made with no bioresin. Five highly qualified personnel (HQP: 1 postdoctoral fellow; 1 PhD student, 2 MASc students, and 1 undergraduate student) will gain valuable skills through experimental research and interactions with industry during this project.BDT is the primary partner organization and will play a key role in the activities and success of this collaborative research initiative. BDT is a proud Canadian corporation that has embraced the sustainability agenda with tangible improvements in its manufacturing processes and use of recycled materials. BDT has a large capacity to translate the research results developed herein into practice, as they are responsible for the manufacture and supply of the Biofusion bioresin for commercial applications in multiple market sectors.
