First International Conference in North America on Nanotechnology in Cement and Concrete

The objective of this conference is to advance the science and engineering of nanotechnology in modifying and monitoring the behavior and performance of cement and concrete at nanoscale. The conference will provide a unique opportunity for scientists, engineers and practitioners to set the future direction of nanotechnology in cement and concrete. The subject areas covered in this conference will include the following:

- Initiatives and focus on nanotechnology
- Government and private sector programs
- Concept and mechanism of nanotechnology
- Nanotechnology of other industries and their potential in cement and concrete industry
- Development and characteristics of nanomaterials
- Nanomodification of cement and concrete
- Development and application of nanosensors
- Health and environmental issues associated with nanotechnology
- Economics of nanotechnology and its impact on life cycle cost of transportation infrastructure
- Role of nanotechnology in sustainable developmen

The conference is organised with the support of TRB "Transport Research Board".
