Nanotechnology in Eco-efficient Construction, 2nd Edition is an authoritative
guide illustrating the role and use of nanotechnology in the development of
eco-efficient construction materials for sustainable construction. Broken down
over five parts, the introductory chapters consider nanotech applications for
mortars and concrete, which have high performance and self-healing ability. Part
II considers nanomodified materials for pavements, structural health monitoring,
ice-phobic and corrosion-free nanocoatings, as well as fire-retardant nanocoatings
for protection of structural wood. Part III encompasses applications for building
energy efficiency, including multifunctional architectural glazing based on highly
transparent perovskite-based photovoltaics, as well as recent developments in
the field of electrochromic glazing. Photocatalytic applications are the focus
of Part IV, which investigates nanoparticles for pollution control, self-cleaning,
and photocatalytic water purification. Finally, Part V discusses toxicity, safety
handling, and the environmental impacts of nanoparticles.
