Book Description
We live in a society driven by rapid and unpredictable changes. The concept of the “fourth industrial revolution” was introduced less than ten years ago - the more aware and reality oriented “smart factories”. By this we mean novelties in production technologies, enabling IT services and greater attention to energy consumption. Today, we are discussing the fifth stage in the evolution of society, the advent of the 5.0 company. This book outlines strategic lines and suggests future directions for the development of the "super smart society" which takes responsibility and ensures sustainability by adhering to new smart technologies and skills. The book is intended for a broad audience working in the fields of material science and engineering, energy, environment, etc. It is an invaluable reference source for researchers, academicians, students, industrial institutions, government and independent institutes, individual research groups and scientists working in the field of industrial applications of smart manufacturing design.

Book Description
Nanomaterials can markedly improve the mechanical properties of concrete, as well as reduce the porosity and enhance the durability of concrete. The application of nanotechnology in concrete is still in its infancy. However, an ever-growing demand for ultra-high-performance concrete and recurring environmental pollution caused by ordinary Portland cement has encouraged engineers to exploit nanotechnology in the construction industry. Nanotechnology for Smart Concrete discusses the advantages and applications of nanomaterials in the concrete industry, including high-strength performance, microstructural improvement, self-healing, energy storage, and coatings. The book Analyses the linkage of concrete materials with nanomaterials and nanostructures Discusses the applications of nanomaterials in the concrete industry, including energy storage in green buildings, anti-corrosive coatings, and inhibiting pathogens and viruses Covers self-healing concrete Explores safety considerations, sustainability, and environmental impact of nanoconcrete Includes an appendix of solved questions This comprehensive and innovative text serves as a useful reference for upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and professionals in the fields of Civil and Construction Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Nanomaterials. Dr. Ghasan Fahim Huseien is a research fellow at the Department of Building, School of Design and Environment, National University of Singapore, Singapore. He received his PhD degree from the University of Technology Malaysia in 2017. Dr. Huseien has over 5 years of Applied R&D and 10 years of experience in manufacturing smart materials for sustainable building and smart cities.
