Event: nanotechnologies for construction applications
|
|
(Nanowerk News) A workshop and brokerage event on "Nanomaterials and Nanotechnologies for Construction Applications" will be held on November 5-6, 2007 in Valencia, Spain.
|
|
The event will facilitate the establishment of consortia for competitive projects in the EUREKA programme, and especially within the EurekaBuild umbrella. This initiative addresses the development of pre-competitive materials for the construction sector based on the application of nanotechnologies.
|
|
Topics which will be covered at the event include:
|
|
- applications of nanotechnology in cement based materials;
|
|
- multifunctional coatings based on nanomaterials for construction products:
|
|
- intrinsic sensor and actuator materials for new 'smart' concepts in security and comfort applications;
|
|
- applications of nanocomposites in polymer based materials for construction;
|
|
- integration of nanotechnology based solutions for energy efficient buildings.
