Synthesis and Utilization of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for more sustainable and durable cementitious composites KU Leuven
Concrete is strong, durable and versatile. This is why it’s the most commonly used building material. However, its benefits mask huge dangers to the environment. Concrete is one of the largest sources of air pollution – responsible for 8 % of global greenhouse gases. The EU-funded SynSilable project will explore the use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). Specifically, synthesised and optimised MSNs will be used in different amounts in ...
