Development of geopolymer composites as a material for protection of hazardous wrecks and other critical underwater structures against corrosion - MAR-WRECK

Project summary

The main ambition of the project is to find the cost-effective method, the safe containment of hazardous materials, and eliminate the risk connected with hazardous shipwrecks. The main objective of the project is to develop high-performance composites that have functional properties for engineering applications such as construction and marine industries. Planned result is eco-friendly, high performance composite for underwater applications. It is the answer for need more durable materials for protection the hazardous wrecks and critical underwater infrastructure against corrosion and also for construction purpose in harsh environments, including highly polluted environment, including protection against hazardous cargo in wrecks. The result will be potentially interesting for government institutions planning to increase the activities connected to environmental protection (protection hazardous wrecks) as well as private companies, including underwater works in polluted environments.
