Nanotechnology in civil engineering allows materials to be developed with improved or new properties by examining the world at the nanoscale. It is an extension of existing science and technology to the nanoscale rather than a new field. Nanotechnology enables the development of materials with enhanced or novel characteristics.

ENGINEERING

2. INTRODUCTION
Nanotechnology is not a new science and it is
not a new technology.
“Nanotechnology is an enabling technology
that allows us to develop materials with
improved or totally new properties”.
It is rather an ecxtension of the science and
technologies already developed for many
years,to examine the nature of our world at
an ever smaller scale
