A new technique, pioneered by scientists at Exeter University, have used nano engineering technology to incorporate graphene into traditional concrete production.
Set to revolutionise the construction industry, the new material produced is more than twice as strong and four times more water resistant than existing concrete. It also reduces the carbon footprint of conventional concrete making it greener and more sustainable.
Previous attempts to use nanotechnology in concrete have focused on modifying cement. The new technique suspends atomically thin graphene in water yielding concrete without defects.
