OverviewThe importance of nanotechnology related research and development has become recognised worldwide. Substantial public and private investment is now being ploughed into research and development in a number of industrial sectors, where nanotechnology has become established and has led to new commercial products. The construction industry, having major economic significance with nano-scale research and development which is only emerging, offers a wide scope for exploitation of nanotechnology. With international contributions from experts in the field, Nanotechnology in Construction amalgamates previously fragmented research and emerging trends. It reflects the inherent multi-disciplinary nature of nano-scale research in construction and contributions cover a wide spectrum, from highly scientific investigations to futuristic applications. The books is organised into four broad sections, the first reviews and analyses the prospects of exploitation of nanotechnology in construction, the second discusses novel tools and their capabilities, the final two sections show existing significant products where nanotechnology has been already been exploited or where product development is under-wa Full Product DetailsAuthor: Peter J M Bartos (University of the West of Scotland, UK) , John J Hughes (University of the West of Scotland, UK) , Pavel Trtik (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) , Wenzhong Zhu (University of the West of Scotland, UK)Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry Imprint: Royal Society of Chemistry Volume: v. 292 Dimensions: Width: 15.60cm , Height: 2.20cm , Length: 23.40cm Weight: 0.730kg ISBN: 9780854046232ISBN 10: 0854046232 Pages: 412 Publication Date: 28 April 2004 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
