Nanotechnology In Civil Engineering
Nanotechnology offers possibilities to improve materials used in civil engineering. At the nanoscale, materials demonstrate new properties. Concrete can be made stronger and more durable using nano-silica and carbon nanotubes. Steel can incorporate nanoparticles to increase strength and resistance to fatigue and corrosion. Titanium dioxide and carbon nanotubes make glass self-cleaning. Nanoparticles in coatings provide insulation and hydrophobicity. While costs are currently high, nanotechnology research aims to advance sustainability in the construction industry by developing higher performance, longer lasting materials.

Nanotechnology can be used to enhance the properties of paper by incorporating nanomaterials. This allows paper to be made more durable, water resistant, or even conductive for potential electronic applications. Some key ways nanotechnology addresses limitations of traditional paper include making it stronger through reinforcement at the nanoscale, more flexible through increased fiber networks, and water resistant through hydrophobic coatings and nanoparticles. Nanocellulose is one nanomaterial that can significantly improve the mechanical properties of paper when integrated into its structure.
AR50358_BRISTOW_CAELAN_ED_DISSERTATION
This document is a thesis submitted by Caelan Bristow to the University of Bath investigating barriers to the use of natural building materials in mainstream construction in Ireland. The thesis begins with an introduction that outlines the drivers, current practices, and focus of the research. It then presents a literature review on the benefits of natural building materials and sustainable construction. The methodology discusses surveys distributed to the construction industry and non-industry end users, as well as interviews conducted. Case studies of natural material buildings in Ireland are also presented to examine the barriers faced and solutions found.

Prioritization Ehs Research Needs Engineered Nanoscale Materials
This document summarizes the priorities for environmental, health, and safety research needs for engineered nanoscale materials as determined by the Nanotechnology Environmental and Health Implications Working Group. It outlines three principles used to prioritize the research: prioritizing based on the value of information gained to reduce uncertainty about risks and benefits, leveraging other research funded by other groups when appropriate, and using adaptive management to periodically update the priorities. Based on these principles and public comments, the working group identified the top five priority research needs within each of five categories of EHS research.
