AMU Researchers Granted Second Indian Patent for Sustainable Concrete Technology

ALIGARH, July 7: Researchers from the Department of Civil Engineering, Zakir Husain College of Engineering and Technology, Aligarh Muslim University, have been granted their second Indian patent for developing an innovative sustainable cementitious composition aimed at enhancing the performance and durability of concrete.

The invention, titled A Cementitious Composition and a Process for the Preparation Thereof, has been awarded Patent No. 594399 by the Government of India on July 6, 2026. Developed by Dr. Syed Muhammad Ibrahim, Dr. Saad Shamim Ansari, and Prof. Syed Danish Hasan, the patent is valid for 20 years from its filing date of October 25, 2025.

The patented technology incorporates perforated fly ash cenospheres and a specially dispersed nano-silica system into conventional concrete, resulting in a high-performance, sustainable construction material. The innovation improves crack resistance, load-bearing capacity, flexural and tensile strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to high temperatures, while reducing the consumption of Ordinary Portland Cement through the effective use of industrial by-products.

The researchers said the technology offers an environmentally responsible solution for producing durable, lightweight, and fire-resistant concrete, contributing to green construction and low-carbon infrastructure development.
