This book focuses on civil engineering materials and
nanotechnology. Highlighting recent advances in the field of
nano-engineered cementitious composites, it discusses their key
principles, design and fabrication, testing and characterization,
performance and mechanisms, as well as applications. Future
developments and remaining challenges are also outlined.
Nano-engineered cementitious composites are exceptionally strong,
durable and offer multifunctional/smart performance that differs
considerably from that of normal cementitious composites. Providing
valuable insights into these composites' future development, the
book offers an essential source of information, inspiration, theory
and practical guidance for developing sustainable cementitious
composites. As such, it will benefit researchers, scientists and
engineers in the fields of civil engineering materials and
nanotechnology alike.
The subject of this book is civil engineering material and
nanotechnology. Recent advances in nano-synthetic technologies and
nanocomposite technologies as well as nano-surface modification
technologies are driving the progressive exploitation of advanced
nanomaterials. In view of their unique structures and mutual
synergy, these advanced nanomaterials are expected to alleviate the
dispersion issue of traditional nanomaterials in cement-based
composites, improve their nanocomposite effectiveness and
efficiency as well as impart new properties and functionalities to
cement-based composites, thus boosting the development of
new-generation cement-based nanocomposites. Based on the authors’
latest research accumulations and achievements, this book presents
the fundamentals, fabrications, characterizations, performances and
applications of the new-generation cement-based nanocomposites. It
features numerous illustrations and data graphs as well as summary
tables to visually describe the topics. This book is dedicated to
students, researchers, scientists and engineers in the field of
civil engineering materials and nanotechnology. The readers can
find information on progress of civil engineering materials and
nanotechnologies, cutting-edge research ideas and findings and
practical guidance for developing sustainable and multifunctional
cement-based nanocomposites.
