MASERG@UniParthenope

At the MAterials Science and Engineering Research Group - MASERG we are proud to stand at the forefront of environmental stewardship, advancing research and solutions. In the face of global challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation, we embrace our role as scholars, innovators, and advocates for a sustainable tomorrow. This year has presented its own set of challenges, but it has also been a testament to the power of collaboration and shared purpose. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our researchers Ilenia Farina, Ph.D., Narinder Singh, Ph.D. Jehangeer Raza, MONIKA VERMA, Areebah Abrar, Ines Bouteldja and partners for their invaluable support, insights, and encouragement throughout our work. Together, we’ve made strides in addressing critical issues in environmental science and technology, laying the groundwork for transformative progress. In the spirit of collaboration and shared purpose, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. May this season bring you joy, renewal, and inspiration, and may 2025 be filled with opportunities to build a more sustainable and peaceful world. Together, let us continue to champion the cause of environmental harmony and sustainable development. Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year!

Honored and excited to share that our paper, “Performance assessment of aggregates made from the marine sediments and industrial waste”, has been awarded the Best Paper Award at the SCMT6! This achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of our incredible co-authors: Jehangeer Raza, Ilenia Farina, Ph.D. Narinder Singh, Ph.D. Francesco Todaro, Andrea Petrella and prof. Michele Notarnicola. It was a pleasure working with such a talented team, and we are grateful for their insights and contributions. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the conference organizers, reviewers, and attendees for their valuable feedback and support. #BestPaperAward #SCMT6 #Research #Innovation #Collaboration #materialscience#MASERG#uniparthenope

We are happy to share our latest book chapter titled "Properties of concrete containing polyethylene terephthalate and artificial lightweight aggregates: a case study" in the book "Reuse of Plastic Waste in Eco-efficient Concrete" https://lnkd.in/dGGkf9eM Artificial lightweight aggregates (ALWAs) produced by using waste materials are a suitable alternative to natural aggregates. This work proposes a multicriteria decision model to select the ALWAs through an experimental process. The integrated mechanical (crushing test), environmental (life cycle assessment), and economic (life cycle costing) analysis was carried out for ALWAs to choose the most suitable aggregate. These ALWAs were used to create light concrete (LC), and a portion of the ALWAs was replaced with recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Thank you to all our co-authors Jehangeer Raza, Narinder Singh, Ph.D., Ilenia Farina, Ph.D.

Thanks Vilma Ducman!
