Summary: | "Nanotechnology has changed our vision, expectations, and abilities to control the material world. These developments will have a great impact on the field of construction materials. Portland cement, one of the largest commodities consumed by mankind, is a great product with unlimited potential. Better understanding and precise engineering of an extremely complex structure of cement-based materials at the nano-level is predicted to bring a new generation of concrete, stronger and more durable, with desired stress-strain behavior and possibly possessing the range of newly introduced 'smart' properties. This special publication covers a broad range of subjects related to the nanotechnology and material science of concrete with focus on nanostructure characterization, synthesis, design, and modeling of cement-based materials, as well as application of nano-materials in concrete technology"--Preface. |
