Autonomous cementitious materials formulation platform for critical infrastructure repair

Abstract

Novel cement formulations are critical for meeting the global need for infrastructure repair. Despite the long history of cement and concrete development and use, there are still large gaps in the fundamental knowledge of their properties, frustrating the design of new formulations. The dire need for improved cementitious repair materials, therefore, requires a revolution in the way they are formulated and tested. Here we suggest an autonomous platform that could be leveraged to rapidly formulate and test designed-for-purpose cement patch materials.
