Centro Ceramico is responsible for Phase 3 “Prototyping of smart sensorized materials for the diagnosis of deformations, defects, detachments”, as partner of the Project MIMESIS “Smart, Sensored and Sustainable materials for historical buildings”.
In the framework of these activities, it has designed new formulations of green geopolymer adhesives using recycled materials from various fields of industry and has built a demonstrator, consisting of a vertical masonry covered with porcelain stoneware tiles. Two of them were fixed in order to contain the sensors and simulate the detachment of the cladding, representing a predictive technology capable of guaranteeing performance and safety, with particular reference to historical buildings, but not only.
Prof. Maria Chiara Bignozzi and Dr. Giuliana Bonvicini talk about the objectives, challenges and difficulties encountered in the technical video-pill.
