The PolyU-SCUT Joint Research Centre for Advanced and Green Composite Materials (CAGCOM) is a pioneering research initiative established through a collaborative partnership between The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and South China University of Technology (SCUT). CAGCOM emerged from a shared commitment to harness the strengths and expertise of both institutions to drive innovations in composite materials and foster sustainable practices.
CAGCOM specializes in the research and development of advanced composite materials, focusing on key areas such as polymer matrix composites, high-entropy ceramic composites, energy storage composites, and cementitious/infrastructure composites. With an emphasis on integrating cutting-edge technologies, we explore the potential of nanomaterials, robotics, artificial intelligence, and sustainable manufacturing processes to enhance the performance and functionality of composite materials.
As we face the pressing challenges of climate change and the need for sustainability, CAGCOM is dedicated to advancing green and sustainable solutions that minimize environmental impact. By fostering innovation and collaboration, we aim to contribute significantly to the future of composite materials, ultimately enhancing quality of life and productivity in various industries.
