Richard Riman

Richard Riman created a patented technology that can create composite materials that are stronger, lighter, cheaper, and greener by harnessing largely low-temperature, water-based reactions. According to Rutgers University, where Riman is a professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Riman and his team can make things in water that previously were made at temperatures well above those required to thermally decompose plastics. The technology so far has been used to make over 30 different materials, including concrete that stores carbon dioxide. Riman’s company, Solidia Concrete, uses an environmentally friendly manufacturing process to produce roofing tiles, cinder blocks, and hollow core building slabs. solidiatech.com
