Abstract
A Review on Nano Materials in Concrete
Highlights
Nanotechnology and concrete - general aspectsNanotechnology is a research area that has revolutionized mechanical and chemical properties of materials
Due to the new uses of nano particles there is an interest in the investigation of the effect of nano-particles; especially in concrete and cement mortar
The particle size has to be reduced by an order of magnitude to obtain nano-portland cement. If these nano-cement particles can be processed with nanotubes and reactive nano-size silica particles; conductive, strong, tough and room temperature processed ceramics can be developed both for electronic applications and coatings
Summary
The study of the application of nanotechnology in the construction industry and building structures is one of the most prominent priorities of the research community. The outstanding chemical and physical properties of nano materials enable several applications ranging from structural reinforcement to environmental pollution remediation and production of self-cleaning materials. It is known that concrete is the leading material in structural applications, where stiffness, strength and cost play a key role in the high attributes of concrete.
