Abstract
Construction applications for nanomaterials are “here and now”
There is considerable interest in academia, the investment community and among
manufacturers about the exciting opportunities offered by nanoscale materials.
Although many applications for nanotechnology remain theoretical (such as the
fabled “space elevator”), construction is one area where several
“here and now” applications have already emerged. While current
use is limited (demand in 2006 totaled less than $20 million in the US), the
market is expected to approach $400 million within ten years.
Performance attributes generate excitement
Nanomaterial producers promise numerous benefits from nano-enhanced
construction products, including:
- low maintenance windows
- long lasting scratch resistant floors
- super strong structural components
- improved longer lasting house paint
- healthier and safer indoor climates
- self cleaning skyscrapers
- antimicrobial steel surfaces
- improved industrial building maintenance
- lower energy consuming buildings
- longer lasting roads and bridges
The use of nanomaterials allows product manufacturers to offer longer product
warranties. Building owners are expected to enjoy lower maintenance costs
while consumers can look forward to houses that maintain themselves.
