🎉 Exciting news from AMBER Lab! We're excited to share two recent publications in sustainable construction materials. 1️⃣ 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗥𝗠𝗖)-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝟯𝗗 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀 This study investigates the potential of cenospheres as a lightweight filler in RMC composites, enhancing both carbonation and thermal insulation. By incorporating cenospheres, we achieved a 16% reduction in density and a 59% reduction in thermal conductivity, paving the way for more sustainable 3D printing applications.
