  1. f ROADMAP for NANOTECHNOLOGY in CONSTRUCTION Peter JM Bartos Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl. Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006

  2. Introduction 1: Scottish Centre for Nanotechnology in Construction Materials & ACM Paisley Characterisation of interfacial properties in complex fibre reinforced brittle matrices (nanoindentation, push-in/push-out tests) EC Project Nanoconex (2003-4) RILEM TC197-NCM (2002-6, chaired by PJMB) Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl. Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006

  3. Introduction 2: STATE-of-the-ART ( published by RILEM in 2004) = benchmark for Aims and Destinations Routes & Pathways (infrastructure), Vehicles, Drivers and Environment Charts with time-scales Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl. Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006

  4. Infrastructure, required to pave the way forward includes: Instrumentation, methodology Numerical modelling, multi-scale - integrated Advance in standardization related to nano-scale metrology (reliability of measurements) Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl. Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006

  5. Drivers of progress: Competitiveness, investment return, environmental concerns Vehicles for advance: Europe-FP5;FP6;FP7… national, international nano-linked programmes !! Very small proportion is currently construction-related !! Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl. Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006

  6. Conditions & environment for setting up / developing routes / pathways: Knowledge - technology transfer Education and training (necessary for technology transfer - currently inadequate?) Market pull (new products envisaged) Venture capital, public funding (medium-long period of return) Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl. Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006

  7. ROADMAP: an overall map is not practicable  charts are constructed Specimen charts such as for a specific construction sector (buildings) or construction materials are developed, estimating progress from current bases to aims / destinations over a 25yr period Similar charts can be established for sub-sectors in more detail or for other criteria, even across the charts presented Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl. Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006

  8. RoNaC Charts: assumptions and simplifications: Magnitude of the research effort is not shown Constant rate of development, no interruptions (unforseen technical / financial / environmental problems may arise) Only major interactions with ‘adjacent’ activities are shown Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl. Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006

  9. f CONCLUSIONS: The Roadmap Charts reflect current situation / predictions: periodic updates are therefore recommended Accuracy of the predictions is limited by fragmentation of current RTD and its uneven progress Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl. Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006

  10. f CONCLUSIONS: Progress will be accelerated if research were integrated Existing SME’s, forming the bulk of construction industry are poorly suited as vehicles for progress in exploitation of nanotechnology Ecological, environmental and health & safety impacts of nanotechnology will have to be constantly monitored and applicable regulations and legislation amended and/or developed Nanotechnology in Construction2nd Intl. Symposium, Bilbao, 13-17th Nov. 2006
