Intelligent concrete: Weimar revolutionizes building materials technology!
Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, 99423 Weimar, Deutschland - A revolutionary breakthrough in construction technology is celebrated at the renowned Bauhaus University Weimar! As part of the groundbreaking research project "Stimucrete", concrete is not only rethinked, but also new! Innovative additives creates an intelligent concrete that can be flexibly adapted both in the freshness and in solid state. This could significantly influence the future of digital and automated construction and dramatically extend the lifespan of buildings.
concrete, which consists of cement, gravel and water, is known for its robustness. But once mixed, the fabric usually remains rigid. The team around Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Luise Göbel has recognized the challenge: fluctuating raw materials and environmental conditions can negatively influence the material properties. With novel additives that are activated by external or inner stimuli, the research team wants to be able to control these properties even after production. "This is particularly important for automated procedures such as the 3D concrete pressure," explains Göbel.
Intelligent solutions for durable buildings
The focus of the project is the development of a concrete that can freeze at the push of a button. Electromagnetic stimuli should change the properties of the fresh concrete. But that's not all! The interdisciplinary team of material scientists, chemists and electrical engineers is also interested in extending the lifespan of concrete structures. They develop special capsules that are hidden in the concrete and become active in the event of damage to heal microcranes independently. "Self -healing concrete reduces the building structure of durable and manual repair effort," continues the junior professor.The federal government shows great interest in this forward -looking research! Around 1.9 million euros will be invested in the Nanomat Futur junior group by 2028, which is led by Luise Göbel. This program promotes young scientists and enables you to build independent research groups at German institutions. The projects have a clear connection to industry and should promote innovative applications in various areas of material sciences.
