Tactile sensors in wearable devices have gained attention for their potential applications in enhancing amenability, generation, and functionality for the human body, including sensing and control. This study elaborates on the design of a tactile sen... Read More about Using an EeonTex Conductive Stretchable Elastic Fibre for Hand Action Recognition.

Recycling of fines from waste concrete: development of lightweight masonry blocks and assessment of their environmental benefits (2022)
Journal Article

A significant body of research has been carried out to find suitable waste materials or industrial by-products that could replace portland cement and reduce the environmental footprint of the concrete industry. Many studies focus on technical aspects... Read More about Recycling of fines from waste concrete: development of lightweight masonry blocks and assessment of their environmental benefits.

A cost-effective recycled aggregates classification procedure for construction and demolition waste evaluation (2022)
Journal Article

Current procedures for characterization of recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste can be
time-consuming and costly, and hinder a greater breadth of re-use application. A multi-level Aggregate Potential
(Physical) (AP(P)) scale i... Read More about A cost-effective recycled aggregates classification procedure for construction and demolition waste evaluation.

Recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste in the production of concrete blocks (2020)
Journal Article
