The chapter presents an overview of recent technological innovations in nanocomposite materials for protection and reinforcement of timber in construction. Starting from the definition of nanotechnologies applied in the field of construction and architectural heritage, the chapter briefly describes nano-materials available in the market. The role of different nano-coatings, their wood surface protection functions, and their compatibility with different wood species are reviewed. On-going experimental research projects for next-generation application fields are presented with a special focus on reinforcement of historic timber joints.

Abstract

The chapter presents an overview of recent technological innovations in nanocomposite materials for protection and reinforcement of timber in construction. Starting from the definition of nanotechnologies applied in the field of construction and architectural heritage, the chapter briefly describes nano-materials available in the market. The role of different nano-coatings, their wood surface protection functions, and their compatibility with different wood species are reviewed. On-going experimental research projects for next-generation application fields are presented with a special focus on reinforcement of historic timber joints.
