Publisher's Synopsis
Those who are working in civil and architectural engineering need to have a thorough understanding of nanomaterials and composites and how they can be utilized in infrastructure and building applications.
Sustainable Materials in Construction and Infrastructure Applications: Green Polymers, Composites and Nanocomposites provides a detailed review of the use of these materials in construction. The focus is on materials, characterization, strength and durability, and infrastructure applications. Key areas that are addressed are advances in green polymers, composites, and nanoparticles in the construction of infrastructures. The mechanical properties of modified concretes using polymers and composites are also discussed as well as key challenges and future perspectives.
The book will provide readers with in-depth knowledge of new opportunities for polymers and composite materials in the construction industry.
