Photocatalytic, Antimicrobial and Conductive Functional Nanomaterial-Doped Cement Composites for Sustainable Construction
摘要
Due to the high carbon footprint of building materials, including those based on cementitious binders, high durability and very often new functionalities are expected. This chapter provides an overview of recent research on the role of nanomaterials in shaping new properties of cementitious composites, including self-cleaning, antimicrobial and self-sensing properties. Important parameters in the design of these solutions are the nature and physicochemical properties of the nanoadditives, their proper dispersion in cement composites and the shaping of new material properties in terms of their durability.
