Due to the limited availability of resources and materials for construction, the demand for the use of new materials in the building industry has also increased.
One of the greatest modern technologies of the present century is nanotechnology, which can be a breakthrough in addressing the needs of the construction industry.
The advantages of using this technology include improved quality of materials, energy savings, and consequently, economic savings.
Applications of NSG’s company Nanotechnology Products in the Construction Industry:
- Improvement of Cement and Concrete Properties
- Preventing the intrusion of harmful external agents into the concrete
- Increase resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and decay, along with self-cleaning properties.
- Increase resistance to heat transfer
- Prevention of efflorescence, wall blistering, and paint peeling, as well as the absorption of contaminants
- Prevention of mold and fungus formation
- Protection against cracking and premature wear
- Increasing the strength of concrete and preventing the corrosion of steel reinforcements
The use of nanotechnology in the construction industry dates back several years. For approximately 80 years, silica in micron sizes has been widely utilized in cement-based concretes. Additionally, the incorporation of finer particles, such as microsilica, has enhanced the compressive strength of concrete. Recent research activities in the field of nanotechnology in concrete include examining hydration particles in cement, assessing the effects of adding nanosilica to concrete, incorporating nanoparticles into cement and concrete, and observing their impacts on these materials.
