In recent months, researchers from the CNR-ISTEC in Faenza worked on the development and characterization of low environmental impact masonry mortars incorporating and interacting with sensors to monitor the parameters having the greatest effect on the salubrity and deterioration of historical buildings. The material-sensor system was then validated on a laboratory scale. In detail, ISTEC-CNR focused the attention on the measurement of pH and chlorides.
In the second project webcast Dr. Michele Macchiarola talks about the challenges and the results achieved.
The
Project MImeSIS “Smart, Sensored and Sustainable materials for historical buildings” has a partnership made up of 5 Research partners (CertiMaC, Centro Ceramico, Cnr-Istec, CIRI Center of the University of Bologna and Sis.Ter) and 7 Industrial partners (Litokol, La Banca della Calce, Sgubbi italiana, Kerakoll, Leonardo, Tenenga, Sestosensor).
