Concrete under nanoscope: the review of nanotechnology and nano-engineered concrete

Prof. Konstantin Sobolev – Department of Civil Engineering, CEAS – University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (USA)

This presentation reviews recent developments in the field of nanotechnology applied to concrete. Specifically, the aspects of development and fine tuning of nano-seed products for nano-engineered concrete are discussed. Various pathways for effective production of nano-SiO2 and CSH seeds are discussed.
