    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.
