Introduction
Nano= 10-9 m about one billionth of a meter
A strand of DNA is 2 nm wide
A human hair is about 100,000 nm
A sheet of paper is 100,000 nm
Concrete made with Portland cement particle sizes that are less than 500 nm as cementing
agent
Properties
1- Increase strength
2- Flexibility
3- workability
4- Durability
5- increases Viscosity of fluid phase
6-Reacts with calcium hydroxide = CSH all mechanical properties are
controlled by CSH which is Nano-structured material
7-hydration process
