Ongoing R&D Projects:

Application of the Carbon Quantum Dot (CQD) doped Composite Anode System (Composite Quantum Anode System - QAS) for the cathodic corrosion protection of steel in concrete, with the focus on
(1) Increase service time to > 40 years by using polyurea cover coatings
(2) Protect steel in carbonated concrete for > 40 years by applying the Composite Quantum Anode System

Application of Carbon Quantum Dot (CQD)- doped QEZAC binder for galvanic corrosion protection of steel in concrete using an embedded zinc anode (EZ-anode):
(1) Increase galvanic performance
(2) Improve strength (adhesion strength to concrete, compressive strength)
(3) Evaluation of the galvanic extraction of chlorides out of the concrete overlay and chemical immobilization in the EZ-Anode binder-matrix

Development of a humidity sensor system that enables the "tomography of humidity" in porous construction materials (concrete, bricks, silica stones, etc.).

Acid-resistant binder systems according to DIN 19573, ASTM C1904 – 22, and ASTM C1898 – 20
