R&D Center

The Multi-fuction Building in R&D Center

Bote's R&D Center covers an area of 20,000spm and leads in development, study and application of concrete external reactant, concrete admixture and concentrated concrete, renovation of concrete, and durability evaluation and life preevaluation of concrete. In 2002, the Center was entitled as Liquid Macromolecule Building Materials & Engineering Technology Research Center of Jiangsu Province and Concrete admixture Engineering Technology Center of Nanjing by related administrations.

Polarizing Microscope

The R&D Center has tens of labs including Macromolecular Chemosynthesis Lab, Macromolecular Chemistry Lab, Macromolecular Structure Analysis Lab, Material Mechanical Property Lab, Material Durability Lab, Material Cubic Deformation Lab, and is well equipped with electro-hydraulic servo pressure tester, universal tester, fatigue tester, carbonization tester, concrete fast freezing-thawing tester, hydration heat tester, heat insulation temperature rising tester, secular distortion property automatic control and measurement system, infrared spectroscopic analysis apparatus, gel liquid phase chromatograph, polarizing microscope and etc. The R & D Center can do material preparation, performance test, structure analysis, material durability test and failure mechanism study and so on.

Physical Test Building

With outstanding professionals (one post-doctor, 9 doctors, 24 masters, 12 senior engineers as well as 22 engineers included), the Center has undertaken multiple national key research subjects including Key Sustentation Projects of National Natural Science Funds and has won multiple prizes issued by related institutions and administrations.

Infrared Spectroscopic Analysis Apparatus

Since 1990s, many products have titled as being National Key New Products. In 1999, the project ‘Preparation and Failure Mechanism Study in High-performance Cement Construction Material’ was supported by National Natural Science Fund. In 2002, the project ‘Polyocarboxy Acid Concrete Reinforcing Agent and Environment-friendly Production’ was listed in Sustentation Projects of Innovation Fund for Small Technology-based Firms by the Ministry of Science & Technology of P. R. China. In 2003, the project ‘Research and Application Study in Self-compacted High-performance Concrete’ was listed in State “Torch Plan”.

The R&D Center's technological achievements in recent years are as follows:
