As the environmental impact of construction and building materials comes under increasing scrutiny, the search for more eco-efficient solutions has intensified. Nanotechnology has great potential and is already widely used with great success. Nanotechnology in Eco-Efficient Construction is an authoritative guide to the role of nanotechnology in developing eco-efficient construction materials and sustainable construction. Following an introduction to the use of nanotechnology in eco-efficient construction materials, Part One considers such infrastructural applications as nanoengineered cement-based materials, nanoparticles for high-performance and self-sensing concrete, and the use of nanotechnology to improve the bulk and surface properties of steel. Nanoclay-modified asphalt mixtures and safety issues relating to nanomaterials are reviewed before Part Two discusses applications for building energy efficiency. Topics include thin films and nanostructured coatings, switchable glazing technology, and third generation photovoltaic cells. Finally, photocatalytic applications are the focus of Part Three, which investigates nanoparticles for pollution control, self-cleaning and photosterilization, and the role of nanotechnology in manufacturing paints and purifying waters. Nanotechnology in Eco-Efficient Construction is a technical guide civil engineers, materials scientists, researchers, and architects in nanotechnology, eco-efficient materials, or construction.
