Mexican doctor invented luminescent cement with a lifespan of over 100 years

According to a reporter in Mexico, Mexican science doctor José Carlos Rubio of the University of San Nicolás de Hidalgo (UMSNH) has successfully invented a glowing, heat-resistant and long-lived cement that is over 100 years old . making many prospects for the construction industry and serving effectively for the socio-economic construction in this country.

In a press interview on April 30, Dr. Rubio said that after nine years of experimental research from the idea of ​​turning cement into an opaque material , he and his colleagues focused on structural changes. micro of cement, turning it into a substance capable of absorbing light, can then be luminescent.

This type of cement has a lifespan of up to 100 years.(Illustration).

Thus, if buildings, highways or offshore oil platforms are built with this special type of cement, during the day it will absorb sunlight and night light that can glow within 12 hours continuously. .

According to Dr. Rubio, during rainy days with lightning, only this light can "load" light and at night they can "return" the amount of light.

This unique product has also been tested to build bathrooms and toilets in tall buildings that lack light and bring positive results.

Currently, the above cement is blue and green , is in the process of technology transfer and put into commercial production, while Mexican scientists continue to test for gypsum and some other construction materials.
