    The nano-cement has the potential to create a new paradigm in this area of application because the resulting material can be used as a tough, durable, high temperature coating. It provides a good method of increasing fire resistance and this is a cheaper option than conventional insulation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoconcrete

    Decorative plate made of Nano concrete with High-Energy Mixing (HEM) Two-layered pavers, pigmented top layer made of HEM nanoconcrete Nanoconcrete (also spelled nano concrete or nano-concrete) is a form of concrete that contains Portland cement particles that are no greater than 100 μm [1] and particles of silica no greater than 500 μm, which fill voids that would otherwise occur in normal ...

  4. Nanocem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanocem

    Nanocem was founded as an independent consortium in 2004 after a rejection of a 2002 bid to the Network of Excellence (European Framework Programme).. Nanocem's eleven completed core projects have included studies of interactions between admixtures and cement, [4] [5] concrete durability, the kinetics of cement hydration, [6] and the use of magnetic resonance imaging techniques in concrete ...

  5. Applications of nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    Nanotechnology's ability to observe and control the material world at a nanoscopic level can offer great potential for construction development. Nanotechnology can help improve the strength and durability of construction materials, including cement, steel, wood, and glass. [9] By applying nanotechnology, materials can gain a range of new ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete

    Nanoconcrete (also spelled "nano concrete"' or "nano-concrete") is a class of materials that contains Portland cement particles that are no greater than 100 μm [88] and particles of silica no greater than 500 μm, which fill voids that would otherwise occur in normal concrete, thereby substantially increasing the material's strength. [89]

  7. Potential applications of carbon nanotubes - Wikipedia

    MWNT's cross-sectional area offers an elastic modulus approaching 1 TPa and a tensile strength of 100 GPa, over 10-fold higher than any industrial fiber. MWNTs are typically metallic and can carry currents of up to 10 9 A cm −2. SWNTs can display thermal conductivity of 3500 W m −1 K −1, exceeding that of diamond. [2]

  8. Engineered cementitious composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_cementitious...

    The ECC material family is expanding. The development of an individual mix design of ECC requires special efforts by systematically engineering of the material at nano-, micro-, macro- and composite scales. ECC looks similar to ordinary Portland cement-based concrete, except that it can deform (or bend) under strain. [1]

  9. Nanomaterials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomaterials

    A common example where this can be observed is the addition of nano Silica to cement, which improves the tensile strength, compressive strength, and bending strength by the mechanisms just mentioned. The understanding of these properties will enhance the use of nanoparticles in novel applications in various fields such as surface engineering ...
