3. Introduction
Nowadays many new emerging innovative
materials are being invented and many new
materials are being in research . New
innovative thinking and new invention is
necessary to save our valuable time and
energy. Some of the innovative materials are
included below.

4. Translucent Concrete
Translucent concrete is a concrete based
building material with light transmissive
properties due to embedded light optical
elements.
It is usually made of Optical fiber.
According to the concretes manufacturers,
the optical fibers make up only 4 percent of
the mixture.
The light transmitting property makes them
appear fresh, open and spacious.

5. SELF REPARING CEMENT
• A new self-healing cement is currently
being developed which has the ability
to repair its own cracks.
• This cement is mixed with
microcapsules that release a glue-like
epoxy resin that will automatically
repair any cracks that form in the
sidewalk or roadway.
• In addition this cement will have the
ability to regulate heat.

6. Mechanism of self repairing concrete
Self healing of concrete is a result of biological reaction
of non-reacted limestone and a calcium based nutrients
with the help of bacteria .
special type of bacteria's known as bacillus are used
along with calcium nutrient known as calcium lactate
The bacteria's can be dormant state for around 200
years.
When the cracks appear in the concrete the water
seeps in the cracks. The spores of bacteria geminate and
start feeding on calcium lactate consuming oxygen.
The soluble calcium lactate is converted into insoluble
limestone.
The insoluble limestone starts to harden thus filling the
cracks.

7. SELF-CLEANING CONCRETE
A new construction material that claims to both clean itself and filter
pollutants out of air.
The concrete keeps its colour for far longer than traditional building
material and also reduces air pollution.

8. How it Works
On the surface of self-cleaning concrete the cleaning
happens without any scrubbing involved.
When light and heat strikes the concretes surface,
catalysts (usually titanium oxides ) use that energy to
breakdown the dirt into molecules like oxygen, water , co2 ,
nitrates ,and sulphates . Gases float away while liquids or
solids are left on surface to be washed away by rain

9. SENSI TILE
o If you walk across your kitchen
floor to get something from the
refrigerator, the floor twinkles
with lighted path that guides your
way through the dark room.
o The concrete of the tiles is
embedded with acrylic fiber-optic
channels that transfer light from
one point to another.
o As shadows move across
Terrazzo's surface, the light
channels flicker with a
randomized.

10. Radiant Barriers
• Can be applied anywhere in attic
space of house
• Keeps heat out in summer, warmth
in during winter
• Usually made of aluminum

11. Solar Panel Roofing Tiles
• Transform the sun’s
energy into useable
electricity to power your
home!
• Receive rebates from
the government for
installing them!

12. Ultra Touch Jeans Insulation
It is light weight and this method
reduces landfill waste.
Jean is recycled through some
process and it can be used for roofing
like this

13. ELECTRIFIED WOOD:
• This European-designed material
incorporates a source of electricity
directly into tables and chairs.
• If Two metal layers are pressed
between the wood of the furniture,
making it possible to pass an
electrical current through the whole
thing.
• The 12-volt power is fed to the
metal layers via one connector, and
lamps, and other devices can be
connected via the other.

14. UNFIRED CLAY BRICKS:
• Unfired bricks are created using
earth materials and are air-
dried instead of fired like
conventional bricks.
• It is Eco-friendly and with
additional construction
properties .
• This has the benefit of
reducing the energy used in
manufacturing and increases
strength and decreases
shrinkage.

15. Carbon Fiber
• Carbon fiber is made up of carbon
strands that are thinner than
human hair. The strands can be
woven together, like cloth, and
then that can be molded to any
shape you might want.
• Carbon fiber is an extremely
strong, lightweight material.
• It's five times as strong as steel,
two times as stiff, yet weighs about
two-thirds less.

16. LIQUID GRANITE
• The material is a lightweight and
has the same load bearing capacity
of cement, but is made of recycled
materials.
• Liquid Granite is not only fire-
resistant beyond 1,100 degrees
Celsius , It can also withstand high
temperatures for longer periods .
• It has Moisture resisting properties.

17. BENDABLE CONCRETE
• A new type of fiber-reinforced bendable concrete
• This new concrete is around 500 times more resistant
to cracking than regular.
• The fibers slide within the concrete when bending
occurs, providing it with enough give to prevent
breakage.

18. Conclusion
These new emerging building materials should be
replaced with the old ones to improve and helps
in Recycling of the materials and save energy and
make our country pollution free. If These
materials these materials are used in
construction we can save time , money and
energy . So more new innovative materials should
be created and make construction of the building
simpler with more strength.
