this is a project about illuminating cement . This is a magical cement .

1. ILLUMINATING CEMENT
THE LIGHT EMITTING CEMENT FOR SMART
CONSTRUCTION

2. • Can we ever imagine that our walls will light the room
without using any electric power?
• Have we ever thought that it's easy to drive and walk on
the roads in the middle of the night without any street
lights?
• We can never assume that cement production will
decreases the environment pollution.
• The under ground ways and turnels will light without
electricity.

3. • The all above problems are solved by only one thing that is light
emitting cement or illuminating cement was invented by jose carlos
rubio at the university of san Niclas Hidalgo in Mexico.
• The raw materials used for this material are silica, river sand,
industrial waste, alkali and water. The process includes the
polycondensation of raw materials, performed at room
temperature that doesn't require much energy consumption.
• The material has an estimated life span of 100 years because of
the inorganic nature of the cement components.
• This new material is sun-resistant and more durable compared
with other phosphorescent materials like plastics or paints, which
decay with UV rays in the long run.

4. This more energy-efficient material allows architects to save on electricity
costs. It can be used to light up the footpaths, swimming pools, interior rooms,
and roadways, etc.
During day times, the roadways or footpaths adsorb solar energy and light up
the path in the night times.
It acts as a light source in the places where scarcity of power is there
like roadways in the forest or in some remote areas where there is no
availability of power.
we can use this material in buildings, especially in bathrooms and
garden paths.
Illuminating cement used in park Used in swimming pools Used in home interior
Used in bridge

5. • The product uniqueness is it dose the works of
two different product alone.
• It is a two in one product that save money of
people . In this way people buying this product now
a days in a large number .
• There are many places where the lights broken by
flood, tsunami, earthquake, tropical cyclones etc .
• Once the cement installed in the path it will work
for a long time . Where in the other side we have
to change lights in every year .
• These are the reasons why people are buying this
product day by day .

6. Illuminating cement Normal cements
It can both make the path and light the path . It can only make the path .
The cement save a huge amount of electricity . We have to install electricity connection on it after that the
light will work .
These materials are composed of organic substances
that break down over long-term exposure to UV rays, it is
a organic product.
It is not a organic product. Its not helps to stop any uv rays
and the plastic cements are harmfull for our nature
It is same as cement but it allows the passage of light
penetrate inside the material.
Cement is a binding material with excellent cohesive
properties and possesses an body which does not allow
the passage of light penetrate inside the material.

7. • Professor Rubio's nine-year journey of experimenting
with the cement microstructure culminated in a new
material that completely eliminates these crystal flakes.
• Without these flakes, incoming light can penetrate into
and be absorbed by the deepest parts of the concrete.
At the same time, the material is phosphorescent,
which means that it absorbs the solar energy and later
releases it as light.
• During the day, the cement essentially acts as an
energy storage device, soaking up all the sunlight and
exciting electrons in the material.
• At night, these electrons eventually relax to their
original state, emitting light in the process. Once night
falls, the cement can provide light for 12 hours, without
using any electricity.
