Capture, Storage and Use of CO₂:

This line is related to the implementation of new materials for the capture and the use of CO₂. Whether it is a reversible or irreversible capture. Application in building materials. Eco-Construction.

Immobilization of hazardous substances using Double Barrier techniques:

This line is related to the synthesis and using of «Layered double hydroxides (LDH)», «Periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs)» and «Mesoporous carbons (CM)» in the capture of pesticides and / or heavy metals. Furthermore, the interaction of these materials with cement-based materials in order to immobilize hazardous substances by using a double barrier technique is being researched.

Mortars and concretes:

This line is related to the formulation of conventional, self-compacting, or alkaline activated mortars and concretes. It is needed to mention the importance of the implementation of the circular economy in the construction sector by the incorporation of industrial by-products. On the other hand, this line is addressed to the study of mortars and wall paintings in archaeological sites as well as the formulation of colored mortars.
