Research Focus: 🧬
Prof Dr. João Henrique da Silva Rêgo is a distinguished researcher with a primary focus on the nanotechnology-driven enhancement of construction materials. His extensive body of work, cited in numerous publications, reflects a comprehensive exploration of microstructural aspects in cement pastes. Prof Dr. João Henrique da Silva Rêgo research spans the chemical and mechanical characterization of ternary cement pastes incorporating metakaolin and nanosilica, as well as investigations into the microstructure and strength of cementitious materials containing nanosilica and highly-reactive supplementary cementitious materials. His groundbreaking work includes studies on the utilization of residual rice husk ash, exploring its effects on calcium hydroxide consumption and its role in cement pastes’ microstructure. Prof Dr. João Henrique da Silva Rêgo has also delved into the synergistic effects of ultrasonication and the impact of nanosilica/metakaolin ratios on the formation of calcium alumina silicate hydrate in ternary cement pastes.
