The carbon fiber is woven into a mesh, or as a composite material that mimics existing rebar structures. These two types of reinforcement can be combined in a composite to produce a concrete ...

Now, Northwestern’s new strategy addresses this challenge by locking away CO 2 permanently and turning it into valuable materials, which can be used to manufacture concrete, cement, plaster and paint.

The carbon fiber industry, long seen as a niche market supplying high-tech and high-value applications, is undergoing significant transformation. Traditionally dominated by a few established players, ...

Holding half its weight in carbon dioxide, the material could replace sand in concrete and other construction materials while trapping greenhouse gas. Using seawater, electricity and carbon ...

Scientists at NTU have developed a 3D concrete printing method that captures carbon, demonstrating a new pathway to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry. The innovative method, ...

Researchers in Japan found a way to make concrete that effectively emits no carbon dioxide (CO2) during the production process. The team of scientists, primarily from the University of Tokyo and ...

Doha, Qatar: The Gulf Organisation for Research & Development (GORD) and the American Concrete Institute (ACI) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on advancing climate ...

Further tests will be needed to determine the long-term durability of carbonatable concrete and to assess whether it is carbon-neutral or carbon-negative. If successful, this innovation could help ...
