Sustainable Materials

In the heart of China, researchers are pioneering a novel approach to sustainable construction, one that could reshape the industry’s environmental footprint and operational efficiency. Zhang Yi, a leading figure from the School of Architecture and E

In the quest for sustainable and resilient construction materials, a recent study has shed light on the promising role of polypropylene fiber (PPF) in enhancing the performance of lightweight concrete. Led by Mohamed Abdeliazim Mustafa from the Depar

In the quest for sustainable construction materials, researchers have turned to an unlikely ally: ferronickel slag (FNS), a by-product of the energy-intensive ferronickel production process. A recent study led by Tae Yeon Kim from the Department of S

In the quest to reduce the construction industry’s substantial carbon footprint, researchers have turned to an unlikely ally: agricultural waste. A recent study published in *Nature Scientific Reports* (translated from the original Latin) explores th

In the heart of arid regions, where date palm trees sway under the sun, a new construction material is emerging from what was once considered waste. Researchers have found a way to turn date palm fibers (DPFs) into a sustainable reinforcement for cem

In the quest for sustainable and energy-efficient construction materials, a team of researchers from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, led by A. Zaragoza-Benzal, has made a significant breakthrough. Their innovative approach combines natural and

In a significant stride towards sustainable construction, researchers have developed a high-strength, self-compacting alkali-activated concrete (AAC) using fly ash and steel slag, offering a promising alternative to traditional Portland cement concre

In the quest for sustainable construction materials, a recent study published in *Hybrid Advances* (or *Majalah Terobosan Hibrid* in Indonesian) has shed light on the potential of natural fiber composites as viable alternatives to traditional fibergl

In the quest for sustainable construction materials, a recent study has unveiled promising properties of alkali-activated blast furnace slag (BFS-AAM) that could revolutionize the energy sector. The research, led by Mehedi Rabbil from the Fiber and P

In a groundbreaking study that marries sustainability with practicality, researchers have discovered a novel way to repurpose industrial polymer roof waste into durable cement cobblestones, potentially reshaping the construction and energy sectors. T
