Free webinar on nanomaterials in concrete construction

A webinar exploring the potential of carbon-based nanomaterials in construction will be presented by Mahdi Ghazizadeh, president and chief operating officer of MITO Material Solutions.

The session, which is free to attend, will focus on the functionalisation of graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibres and other similar materials. Functionalisation is a process that modifies these materials to improve their compatibility and performance in various applications, including concrete construction.

Ghazizadeh, who has nearly 20 years of experience in materials science, will discuss how functionalised nanomaterials could enhance the mechanical properties and durability of concrete while addressing challenges such as uniform dispersion, chemical compatibility, and health and safety concerns.

“Carbon-based nanomaterials have exceptional properties, but their widespread adoption requires overcoming technical barriers,” said Ghazizadeh. “This webinar will examine various functionalisation methods that could help the construction industry harness their benefits.”

MITO Material Solutions, a US-based company, specialises in developing high-performance materials with sustainability in mind. It has experience working across sectors including aerospace, defence, oil and gas, rail, and automotive industries. The company is verified by The Graphene Council for its functionalisation capabilities.

The webinar will be recorded, and all registrants will receive access to the recording and presentation slides.
