An Exploratory Study of the Cutting-Edge Development of Nanotechnology Pertaining to the Construction Industry

Abstract:

This paper explores how the application of nanotechnology can enhance the efficacy of construction materials, decrease consumption and cost of materials, whilst further increasing sustainability in the South African construction industry. Nanotechnology controls matter at an atomic level. At this level the properties of matter are manipulated and severely affected with potentially significant benefits to the construction industry. This exploratory desktop study examined relevant scientific literature through thematic content analysis and the uses of NanoSilica, Carbon Nanotubes, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Nanosilver, and Copper Nanoparticles were extracted and discussed.
