Abstract
The latest technological innovations in nanostructured materials for reinforcement and protection of timber structures are presented. Starting from the definition of nanotechnologies applied in the construction field, the paper briefly describes nano-materials already existing on the market, nano-coatings and their wood surface protection functions, classification and compatibility with the different wood species, focusing on their potential usage and their application in the fields of architecture, civil engineering and cultural heritage.Next-generation application fields are reviewed with a special focus on an experimental research on reinforcement of historic timber structures with the application of a polymeric resin reinforced with carbon nanotubes.
