Description: The potential of nanotechnology for the fields of medicine, environmental protection, chemicals, and construction has been recognized. NSF’s National Nanotechnology Initiative is just one demonstration of interest at the national level. For construction industries, especially concrete and portland cement, experts suggest that nanotechnology, with its “engineering of complex structures of cement-based materials, will result in a new generation of concrete, stronger and more durable, with desired stress-strain behavior and possibly with the whole range of newly introduced ‘smart’ properties.” This comprehensive annotated bibliography, compiled by leading scientists in the field, presents the state of the art in this technology for concrete, and will be of major importance to anyone interested in this developing field.
References in the Bibliography are organized according to the following subheadings:
