Nanoarchitecture
NANOTECHNOLOGY the Future of Architecture
What is Nanotechnology? And how it serves in the improving progress of architecture?
Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. This covers both current work and concepts that are more advanced.
In its original sense, 'nanotechnology' refers to the projected ability to construct items from the bottom up, using techniques and tools being developed today to make complete, high performance products.
Nano technology studies materials with morphological features on the Nano scale especially those which have special properties stemming from their Nano scale dimensions. Nano materials is a term that includes all Nano sized materials , including engineered Nano particles , incidental nanoparticles and other Nano-objects like those exist in nature.
The novelty of nanotechnology made architectural thinking become more secure, flexible and comfortable through Nano architecture applications: 1. Self-cleaning: Oleo phobic surfaces are resistant against oils and fats.
Active Glass 2. Easy to clean (ETC) these surfaces have a lower force of surface attraction due to a decrease in their surface energy, resulting in reused surface adhesion 3. Air purifying using photo catalytic pavement surfacing. On conventional tiles, water form droplets that dry leaving behind dirt deposits. On the hydrophilic surfaces of photo catalytic tiles, water forms a film that runs off taking any loose dirt deposits with it. 4. Anti-fogging: clear view is now possible without the use of electricity, due to using ultra-thin coating of nanoscaler titanium dioxide, which exhibits a high surface energy. 5. Solar protection: Electrochromatic glass with an ultra-thin Nano coating needs only to be switched once to change state, gradually changing to a darkened yet transparent state. At present the maximum dimension of glazing panels is limited. 6. Vacuum insulation panels 7. Thermal
