Practical applications of nanotechnology in construction will be presented at Cairo conference |
|
(Nanowerk News) A simple treatment of a nano-coating to building surfaces could leave an entire structure unscathed in the event of an overwhelming fire. Details about this application along with a multitude of similar practical developments will be the subject of the Nano Cement, Steel & Construction Industries Conference to be held May 16-17, 2009 at the splendid Sofitel Gezirah in Cairo, Egypt.

This conference will provide solutions to the shortcomings in current construction models using the emerging technologies of the nanoscale. A variety of nanoconstruction materials and products will be introduced, including self-consolidating concrete, super hard steel, and nano-ceramics. The conference will also examine how integrating nanomaterials can affect several properties, including strength and flexibility, of conventional building materials in projects ranging from small housing to large-scale ventures such as bridge construction.
