Ceramic Chemistry Research Team of Ceramics and Construction Materials Research Group focuses on the synthesis and processing of advanced ceramics including nanoparticles, thin films and porous ceramics such as ceramic water filter, ceramic membrane & support, as well as ceramic-based and geopolymers derived from industrial wastes, i.e. fly ash, bottom ash and rice husk, etc., by using chemical and ceramic processing methods.
In addition, the research also includes advanced construction and building materials such as solar-reflective pigments, functional coatings for water-repellent & self-cleaning applications, and porous ceramic-based materials for VOCs absorption, etc.
