Why AAC? The production of OPC is a major contributor to global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. AAC, derived from industrial by-products, offers a powerful way to reduce this environmental footprint. But we didn't stop there. By integrating nanomaterials like nano-fly ash (nFA), nano-ground granulated blast furnace slag (nGS), and nano-bentonite (nBT), we've unlocked remarkable enhancements in AAC's properties.

Our findings demonstrate significant improvements in:

Strength & Durability: Enhanced compressive strength, cracking resistance, and overall impact performance, even under extreme temperatures.

Thermal Stability: Increased resilience when exposed to heat, crucial for long-term structural integrity.

Environmental Impact: A tangible reduction in CO2 emissions and more efficient utilization of industrial waste.

This work highlights the pivotal role of nanotechnology in paving the way for more resilient, sustainable, and eco-friendly infrastructure. We invite you to dive deeper into the full study to discover how these innovations are shaping the future of construction.
