Investigating the applications of nanotechnology in structural engineering

Nanotechnology or nanotechnology is a field of applied knowledge and technology that covers a wide range of topics. The main issue is the inhibition of the material or devices in dimensions less than one micrometer, usually about ۱ to ۱۰۰ nanometers. In fact, nanotechnology is the understanding and application of new properties of materials and systems in these dimensions that show new physical effects, mainly due to the dominance of quantum properties over classical properties. Nanotechnology is a huge phenomenon that has found its way into all scientific trends and is one of the new technologies that is developing as fast as possible. Since the early ۱۹۸۰s, the design and construction of buildings has witnessed new innovations in the field of more efficient and effective materials, strength, ductility, durability and greater ability than traditional materials. Nanotechnology is a highly interdisciplinary science and is related to disciplines such as materials engineering, medicine, pharmacy and veterinary medicine, biology, applied physics, semiconductor devices, super-molecular chemistry and even mechanical engineering, electrical and chemical engineering. Analysts believe that nanotechnology, biotechnology ۲۳ and information technology are the three scientific domains that form the third industrial revolution.
