 Abstract: The field of electrochemical applications has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, and the development of designed polymer nanocomposites has played a crucial role in driving these advancements. In this presentation, I will provide a brief overview of the…

Over the last decade, nanotechnology has demonstrated great potential in contributing to durable and environmentally friendly concrete. This talk starts from a patented technology in which the value of coal fly ash was unlocked using a novel nano-sized material, graphene oxide (GO). This technology hinges on the use of GO in the waterglass activated fly ash to produce a “greener” cementitious binder, geopolymer.
