Advanced/Innovative Materials
Improving materials we are familiar with, inventing completely new ones, or identifying uses for waste materials—the infrastructure we create is only as good as the elements it is made of.
CAIT researchers are developing advanced and innovative materials that are helping to bring our aging infrastructure into the 21st century through developments such as:
- A high-tech protective geopolymer coating that is impervious to environmental elements, fire proof, graffiti resistant, self-cleaning, and de-polluting
- High-performance concrete
- Pavements that incorporate recycled materials
- Beneficial use and decontamination of dredge materials
- Working with partners like the Institute for Advanced Materials, Devices, and Nanotechnology exploring self-healing materials and other nanotechnology applications for infrastructure
