Abstract

The need for sustainable building practices has never been greater in the world that is changing so quickly these days. Aiming to minimise their impact on the environment and boost energy efficiency, engineers and architects are always searching for new and creative materials that can satisfy these needs. Although nanotechnology has long been used in other scientific and technological domains, it is still relatively new in the architectural field. The challenge of nano architecture is to create new materials, add new properties, or improve existing materials that are used in building architecture or during the construction phase. When traditional wood is combined with nanotechnology, a nano-wood composite is created that has improved characteristics like mechanical strength, fire resistance, durability, and water immersion.
