Job description
Fire safety in the built environment is a major concern that is sometimes still taken lightly. Experience has shown that the current technological solutions do not always hold up to the intended fire protection, and this has resulted in various serious catastrophes. This NWO (Dutch research council) funded project intends to bring to market an all-round lightweight fire-protective coating product with flexible application by 3D spraying-printing for full protection purposes. Industrial by-product ladle slag from Tata Steel IJmuiden will be used as the major resource. This research will evaluate the effects of the industrial cooling procedure and weathering on the cementitious property of ladle slag and an industrial processing guideline will be proposed, targeting a high cementitious property. Then, an eco-activating system will be proposed, aiming at the promoted reaction rate, which will result in a high performance geopolymer binder product, with special attention to its high temperature response. Carbon dioxide will be then investigated as an aerating agent by applying a novel mechanical foaming method to enhance the fire property, achieving simultaneously excellent fire extinguishing properties as well as carbon emission reduction. 3D spray printing will be investigated in order to apply this new lightweight coating product to substrates with various profiles to explore its flexible adaption potential. Furthermore, the developed product will be tested for in-field application, where the integrity of the product under various influences. In addition, numerical thermal-physical-mechanical models will be developed from nano- to macro-scale to understand the in-situ fire response and predict its fire behavior under different engineering scenarios.
The two PhD candidates, cooperated with one postdoc researcher (position will be announced later), will join the
Building Materials Group
which contains 25 PhDs, 3 postdocs, 2 assistant professors, 1 associate professor, and 2 full professors. This research group works on new, sustainable, and circular building materials containing or synthesized from secondary raw materials with good chemical, physical and aesthetic properties, and added functionalities. Examples are natural fibers, fly ashes, nano-silica, aerogels, slags or recycled aggregates. Functionalities, including fire resistance, air purification, self-cleaning, high performance, and hydrophobicity, are investigated and developed for these building materials. Moreover, durability and sustainability, such as the degradation of, or leaching from, building materials when exposed to aggressive service environments, are studied. The investigations are carried out based on experimental observations and modeling.
The research group possesses a well-equipped, state-of-the-art building material laboratory for physical/chemical/mechanical/environmental treatment, testing and recycling, and has access to the structural design laboratory at the same department, and shares facilities with the sister Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. The group has close contacts with the building material industry and frequently cooperating with other researchers, both domestic and international.
您是否对消防安全充满热情，并希望让我们的世界变得更加防火？ 我们正在寻找两名博士研究人员，以开发更好的建筑和楼宇防火涂料。 职位：博士生 居里夫人奖学金 编号：Built Environment FTE 1,0 日期：30/03/2025 参考编号：V38.7992 职位描述 建筑环境中的消防安全是一个重大问题，但有时仍被轻视。 经验表明，目前的技术解决方案并不总能达到预期的防火效果，这导致了各种严重的灾难。 由荷兰研究理事会（NWO）资助的这一项目旨在向市场推出一种全方位的轻质防火涂料产品，该产品可通过三维喷印技术灵活应用，以达到全面保护的目的。 塔塔钢铁公司（Tata Steel IJmuiden）的工业副产品钢包渣将被用作主要资源。 这项研究将评估工业冷却程序和风化对钢包渣胶结性能的影响，并提出以高胶结性能为目标的工业加工指南。 然后，将提出一种生态活化系统，旨在提高反应速率，从而生产出高性能的土工聚合物粘结剂产品，并特别关注其高温响应。 然后，将研究二氧化碳作为一种充气剂，采用一种新颖的机械发泡方法来提高防火性能，从而同时实现优异的灭火性能和减少碳排放。 为了将这种新型轻质涂层产品应用于不同形状的基材，将对三维喷射打印进行研究，以探索其灵活适应的潜力。 此外，还将对开发的产品进行现场应用测试，以确定产品在各种影响下的完整性。 此外，还将开发从纳米到宏观尺度的热物理力学数值模型，以了解原位火灾响应，并预测其在不同工程场景下的火灾行为。 这两名博士候选人将与一名博士后研究员（职位稍后公布）合作，加入由 25 名博士、3 名博士后、2 名助理教授、1 名副教授和 2 名正教授组成的建筑材料小组。 该研究小组致力于研究新型、可持续和循环型建筑材料，这些材料含有或由二次原材料合成，具有良好的化学、物理和美学特性以及附加功能。 例如天然纤维、粉煤灰、纳米二氧化硅、气凝胶、炉渣或回收骨料。 这些建筑材料的功能性，包括耐火性、空气净化、自洁性、高性能和疏水性，都得到了研究和开发。 此外，还对耐久性和可持续性进行了研究，例如建筑材料在暴露于侵蚀性服务环境时的降解或沥滤。 研究小组拥有一个设备齐全、技术先进的建筑材料实验室，可进行物理/化学/机械/环境处理、测试和回收，还可使用同一系的结构设计实验室，并与姊妹系化学工程与化学系共享设施。 该研究小组与建筑材料行业保持密切联系，并经常与国内外其他研究人员开展合作。
