| ABSTRACT. The latest researches on nonmaterial’s and nanotechnologies showed the potential use of these materials in deferent fields such as construction, medicine, energy automobile industry, and so on. This is due to the special characteristics of materials at the nano scale. Nanotechnology research and product development are actively conducted in industries that manufacture advanced materials. Building and construction materials sector are one of the main beneficiaries of these researches. With these applications the materials resistances can be improved and increasing of their durability of concrete ,steel, glass and buffer materials. For example self healing concrete. The largest amount of pollutants are due to the production of various construction materials and to the energy required during their service .the Improving of materials by nanotechnology will reduce environmental pollution by reducing the carbon of the building materials, such as cement, and the use of performance thermal insulations will result in efficient use of energy for air conditioning. This paper shows the principles of nanotechnology in the construction sector and explores the current status in the construction industry which is findings from a literature review ,and latest researches in the world . Development are also presented to identify the potential benefits for More Sustainable Construction | ||
