Nanomaterials have the potential to significantly enhance the mechanical properties of concrete, while also reducing its porosity and improving its durability. While the application of nanotechnology in concrete is still in its early stages, there is a growing demand for ultra-high-performance concrete and concerns about the environmental impact of traditional Portland cement. Nanotechnology for Smart Concrete explores the advantages and applications of nanomaterials in the concrete industry, including high-strength performance, microstructural improvement, self-healing, energy storage, and coatings.
The book discusses the linkage between concrete materials and nanomaterials and nanostructures, and examines the applications of nanomaterials in various areas of the concrete industry. These applications include energy storage in green buildings, anti-corrosive coatings, and the inhibition of pathogens and viruses. The book also covers self-healing concrete, a technology that allows concrete to repair itself over time.
Safety considerations, sustainability, and environmental impact of nanoconcrete are also discussed in the book. An appendix of solved questions is included to assist readers in understanding the concepts and applications presented.
Nanotechnology for Smart Concrete is written for upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and professionals in the fields of Civil and Construction Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Nanomaterials. The book is authored by Dr. Ghasan Fahim Huseien, a research fellow at the Department of Building, School of Design and Environment, National University of Singapore, Singapore. Dr. Huseien has over 5 years of Applied R&D experience and 10 years of experience in manufacturing smart materials for sustainable building and smart cities. He has expertise in advanced materials, nanotechnology, and concrete technology.
In conclusion, Nanotechnology for Smart Concrete is a comprehensive and innovative text that provides valuable insights into the use of nanomaterials in the concrete industry. The book discusses the potential benefits of nanotechnology, including improved mechanical properties, reduced porosity, and enhanced durability, and explores the various applications of nanomaterials in concrete. It also addresses safety considerations, sustainability, and environmental impact, making it a useful reference for students, professionals, and researchers in the field.
