Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl.
Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006
  • Introduction 1
  • Scottish Centre for Nanotechnology in
    Construction Materials ACM Paisley
  • Characterisation of interfacial properties in
    complex fibre reinforced brittle matrices
    (nanoindentation, push-in/push-out tests)
  • EC Project Nanoconex (2003-4)
  • RILEM TC197-NCM (2002-6, chaired by PJMB)

Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl.
Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006
  • Introduction 2
  • STATE-of-the-ART ( published by RILEM in 2004)
    benchmark for Aims and Destinations
  • Routes Pathways (infrastructure), Vehicles,
    Drivers and Environment
  • Charts with time-scales

Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl.
Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006
  • Infrastructure, required to pave the way forward
    includes
  • Instrumentation, methodology
  • Numerical modelling, multi-scale - integrated
  • Advance in standardization related to
    nano-scale metrology (reliability of measurements)

5
Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl.
Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006
  • Drivers of progress
  • Competitiveness, investment return,
  • environmental concerns
  • Vehicles for advance
  • Europe-FP5FP6FP7 national, international
    nano-linked programmes
  • !! Very small proportion is currently
    construction-related !!

Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl.
Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006
  • Conditions environment
  • for setting up / developing routes / pathways
  • Knowledge - technology transfer
  • Education and training
  • (necessary for technology transfer -
    currently inadequate?)
  • Market pull (new products envisaged)
  • Venture capital, public funding (medium-long
    period of return)

Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl.
Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006
  • ROADMAP an overall map is not practicable ?
    charts are constructed
  • Specimen charts such as for a specific
    construction sector (buildings) or construction
    materials are developed, estimating progress from
    current bases to aims / destinations over a 25yr
    period
  • Similar charts can be established for sub-sectors
    in more detail or for other criteria, even across
    the charts presented

Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl.
Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006
  • RoNaC Charts
  • assumptions and simplifications
  • Magnitude of the research effort is not shown
  • Constant rate of development, no interruptions
    (unforseen technical / financial / environmental
    problems may arise)
  • Only major interactions with adjacent
    activities are shown

  • f CONCLUSIONS
  • The Roadmap Charts reflect current situation /
    predictions periodic updates are therefore
    recommended
  • Accuracy of the predictions is limited by
    fragmentation of current RTD and its uneven
    progress

Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl.
Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006
  • f CONCLUSIONS
  • Progress will be accelerated if research were
    integrated
  • Existing SMEs, forming the bulk of construction
    industry are poorly suited as vehicles for
    progress in exploitation of nanotechnology
  • Ecological, environmental and health safety
    impacts of nanotechnology will have to be
    constantly monitored and applicable regulations
    and legislation amended and/or developed
