Accent of Nanotechnology in Civil Engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
Nanotechnology is the science of engineering that deals with particle at nano-scale. Nanotechnology is widely considered as one of the 21st century’s important technologies, and its economic importance is gradually on the rise. In the construction industry it has possibilities that are already usable today, Such possibility can already be seen today through many current applications related for instance to surface coatings, and fire resistance, and others .In this paper a broad overview of the introduction and potential application of various nanotechnology developments in the construction engineering field are discussed.
