Properties, applications, and prospects of carbon nanotubes in the construction industry

Abstract Nanotechnology and nanomaterials have offered sustainable design options for the built environment enabled architects to more flexible architectural forms. Carbon nanotubes excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical properties are useful in a wide range of engineering applications. However, role carbon nanotube composites as functional construction material has large potential awaits further investigation exploration. This paper gives an overview synthesis fabrication methods nanotubes, properties, different forms composites, application industry. To explore prospects use, aesthetic, structural, characteristics several futuristic building projects discussed. proposes promising approach explains related opportunities challenges.
