Our oriented basic and applied research in Nanoscience and Nanotechnologies focuses on:

Development of ultra high performance materials

  • Design and modification of cement-based matrices
  • Development of nanoparticles and nanostructures

Development of active/adaptive materials

  • Development of nanostructured coatings
  • Development of materials with taylor-made properties

Multi-scale modelling and design of materials

  • To describe the stucture of cement-based materials
  • To predict materials durability and mechanical properties
