REVIEW OF NOVEL COATINGS BASED ON NANOTECHNOLOGY IN BUILDING APPLICATIONS
In recent years,nanotechnology has been widely applied in functional coatings.By manipulating materi-als at the nanoscale,coatings are endowed with unique chemical,mechanical,thermal,surface,and optical proper-ties to meet the demands of urban building environments.This paper summarizes the application results of hydropho-bic coatings,hydrophilic and photocatalytic coatings,and phase-change material coatings in nanotechnology.It re-views the technologies,process advantages and disadvantages,existing issues,and application prospects of different coatings in green and smart buildings.Additionally,it identifies current problems and suggests directions for future research.
