Research internship at Pennsylvania State University

A PhD student from our research group, Martyna Janek, M.Sc., completed a 3-month internship (February 19 to May 19) at a renowned foreign institution - Pennsylvania State University (Pennsylvania, USA). The internship was funded by National Agency for Academic Exchange, within the framework of the STER - Internationalization of Doctoral Schools project. During the internship, Martyna conducted research into the potential use of zeolites (in this case, natural zeolite - clinoptilolite) as additives allowing the development of more economically and environmentally sustainable mortar and concrete mixtures produced by 3D printing technology. The effective realization of the work was ensured by the extensive experience of the research group led by prof. Aleksandra Radlińska in the application of novel additives and admixtures for the production of cementitious composites and 3D printing technology. As part of the internship, Martyna was also given the opportunity to acquaint herself with highly specialized laboratory facilities, while the entire stay was an opportunity to strengthen scientific cooperation between the #MSAGroup research group and scientists from Pennsylvania State University.
