Нанотехнологии в строительстве
В настоящее время многие строительные компании активно применяют в своей работе различные материалы, созданные с использованием нанотехнологий.
Высокопрочный бетон
Использование нанотехнологий в строительстве позволяет добавлять к традиционным строительным материалам определенные свойства, достижение которых еще недавно считалось невозможным. Так, одной из актуальных разработок последнего времени является создание долговечного и высокопрочного бетона.
Согласно расчетам, такой бетон может без проблем просуществовать до 500 лет. Для создания высокопрочного бетона применяются ультрадисперсные, наноразмерные частицы. Данные свойства наноматериалов позволяют использовать высокопрочный бетон для строительства небоскребов, большепролетных мостов, защитных оболочек атомных реакторов и тому подобного.
Высокопрочная сталь
Исследования ученых в области наномодификаций металлов и их сплавов позволили получить высокопрочную сталь, которая не имеет в настоящее время аналогов по параметрам прочности и вязкости. Применение таких наноматериалов самым идеальным образом подходит для строительства различных гидротехнических и дорожных объектов.
При этом нанотехнологии в строительстве позволяют создать на стальных конструкциях полимерные и композитные нанопокрытия: они в десятки раз повышают стойкость стали от коррозии и в несколько раз увеличивают срок службы металла, даже если ожидается работа в агрессивных средах.
