MECHANOSYNTHESIS FOR SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

Description

Mechanosynthesis has evolved from a laboratory powder-processing technique into a key technology for designing advanced materials with superior performance and lower environmental impact.

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of mechanosynthesis, from its historical development and fundamental principles to its most recent applications in civil engineering.

It presents in depth the concepts of direct and indirect mechanosynthesis, mechanical activation, mechanochemistry and scale-up approaches, bridging laboratory research and industrial practice.

Special attention is devoted to clay minerals, fly ashes and other aluminosilicate resources, and their activation for the production of low-carbon binders, cements, geopolymers and sustainable construction materials.

Combining scientific rigor with engineering relevance, this book is an essential reference for researchers, engineers, graduate students and industry professionals working towards more sustainable infrastructure.
