INCREASING OF NON-AUTOCLAVE FOAM CONCRETE QUALITY BY NANOSIZED ADDITIVES
Foam stabilization by nanosized additives is proposed to use as the means for increasing the quality of non-autoclave foam concretes. Sols of silicic acid and iron hydroxide were chosen to be such additives. The paper shows that nanosized particles make it possible not only to increase the resistance of the foam itself and foam concrete…

«THERE’S PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE BOTTOM», OR HOW NANOTECHNOLOGIES CAN CHANGE THE WORLD OF CONCRETE
It’s quite impossible to imagine modern construction without concrete. Today the world volume of concrete being produced is more than 4 milliard of m3 per year. Concrete is used under different operational conditions, it is ecologically friendly material and it has unlimited source of raw materials and comparatively low cost. One should also mention its…
