Commercialization Strategies for Industrial Applications of Nanomaterials in Building Construction

Abstract

Ultrafine grained, nanostructured materials and other types of recombinant nanomaterials open new windows for future technology which make a revolutionary progress in key technologies such as chemistry, material sciences etc. Literature review of the paper shows that nanomaterials have a lot to do with building construction however there is not an influential relationship between usage of nanostructured materials and building industry. In the other word, commercialization and industrial applications of recombinant nanomaterials had yet to find its own role in contemporary architecture and the building construction industry. Therefore the most important question of the research is: what are the most important commercialization strategies regarding to industrial usage of nanomaterials in building construction? The results of the paper show that there is not a meaningful coherence between scientific researches and professional requirements. Moreover academic disciplines generally focus on theoretical era rather than professional fields. In order to make a more prosperous researches regarding to recombinant nanomaterials; should focus on 1-energy, 2-light, 3-security and 4-intelligence; as the most important commercialization strategies regarding to industrial usage of nanomaterials in building construction. Through these four determining strategies, nanomaterials may be adopted in coatings, panels and insulation in building construction; especially in partial requirements like roofs and facades, interior and exterior spaces.
