The Visiting Researcher presents a research project entitled: "Characterization and assessmentof binary and ternary pozzolan mixtures (CDW demolition residues (CDW) mixed with otherPozzolanas) highly reactive with views of the improvement of the cement matrix used in theelaboration of sandwich panels", directly linked to the project: Process n.: 2020/08975-4(FAPESP) and the doctoral proje…
The objective of this proposal is to develop a new technology using an environment with excess of CO2 for curing of the fiber-cement products reinforced with cellulose and synthetic fibers, mainly roofing tiles. Cellulosic fibers are adequate for production of thin components, even for optimization of the fabrication process, and as reinforcement. However, the synthetic fibers, normally u…
The construction industry has sought to develop lighter, more resistant and sustainable products, resulting in incessant research into the application of renewable, low-cost and recyclable materials as an alternative to new raw materials. The Amazon region has an extensive biodiversity, among which jute and mallow fibers are found, these are produced by several riverside communities. Howe…
The FAPESP project, Advanced eco-efficient technologies in cement based products (AECem) (2014/50948-3), focuses on the opportunities for increased efficiency in cement based products. With a wide-range area of research, the project is focused in reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, use of energy, consumption of water and the need for natural resources of cement based products throu…

The objective of the activities is the development and formulation of a cementitious hydraulic matrix with a chemical composition free of clinker and several aggregates incorporated together with discrete and discontinuous microscopic and nanoscopic fibers. The innovation in this work follows four principles: 1- fully reinforce composites with lignocellulosic fibers of plant origin due to…

The aim of the activities is the development and formulation of a hydraulic cementitious matrix with a clinker-free chemical composition and incorporated aggregates, together with microscopic fibers. The innovation in this work follows the principle of producing fiber cements with lignocellulosic fibers of plant origin, given their physicochemical characteristics, which allows economic ad…
Due to their outstanding characteristics, such as high porosity, as well as high specific surface area, electrospun mats have been increasingly used as air filter media. Although they can present such features, there may be some drawbacks, e.g., poor mechanical properties, high compressibility, and low filtration efficiency, that can limit their use as aerosol filters. The current post-do…
Bamboo is a well-known material with interesting properties for application as a structural material, especially because of its excellent specific mechanical strength in comparison with others conventional building materials. However, there are still a lack of information and development about broad-spectrum preservative treatment and its effect on the mechanical properties of bamboo. In …
