Write an assignment on Emerging Technology Survey report
In this present paper, we will study the emerging trend of Nano architecture. The report includes the study of the trend, future outlook, literature review, and its applications and on the basis of all the study, the conclusion is being made. The aim of a study is to analyze the past trends of Nano architecture, research reports, applications and future outlook for the emerging technology and make a conclusion on the basis of the in-depth study.
Nanotechnology is defined as the study which is related to the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. The technology includes the structure of 100 nanometers which is comprised of developing material. Nano architecture is also known as DNA Nano technology; it describes the design and the manufacture of the structure of artificial nuclear acid which is used for the technological purposes. IT is basically an integration of Nanotechnology in the architecture through using the Nano-products, Nano-materials, Nano-telecommunications, and Nano-shapes (Kavehei, 2012). The use of nanotechnology in architecture diverges from material, equipment to the theories of design and forms.
The study of Nano technology was introduced in the early 1980s. It includes mainly two areas: firstly the birth of cluster science and secondly, an invention of STM (Scanning tunneling microscope) which leads to the introduction of fullerenes in 1985 and later carbon nanotubes were introduced (Frache, 2012). The Nano technology includes its contribution to the specific areas namely: Exiting product optimization, protection from damages, Reduction of the volume, deduction in the production levels, and reduction in the need of maintenance which directly affects the reduction in the consumption of raw material and carbon dioxide and it results in the improvement of environmental conditions (Chen, Y, 2012). It also improves the economic conditions through conservation in the resources.
According to the survey, the material of building is incorporated with nanotechnology which includes self-cleaning windows to the flexible solar panels till paint of WIFI blocking and etc, that helps at the development stage which mainly includes concentrate of self-healing, block ultraviolet material, and infrared radiations, coatings off smog eating's and the walls and ceiling which emits lightning. The examples of Nano architecture includes energy coating, carbon fiber, Nano coatings and the windows which absorb heats, Nanosensors, and ultra-low energy high brightness light (ULEHB).
In the current scenario, the Nano-biosensor architecture is based on mechanical devices, optical resonators, functionalized Nano particles, Nano wires, Nano tubes. The current architectural challenges include code design, utilizing multiple nodes, routing, execution model, and interface of micro-scale (Hu, 2015).
The researchers are currently working on “bottom-up building Approaches” to create for the future outlook. The aim of this approach is to arrange the program in such a manner that the entire structure can be arranged according to the chemical or light. The architectures are focusing on "New material technologies" for solving the contemporary issues (Cain, 2016). New applications will be built in the future which offers innovative solutions to the various problems. It includes applications related to conservation of energy, conservation of water.
Self-cleaning locus effect: It is known for its designing surfaces with non-materials. The locus effect is reminiscent, conjuring up the association of beads of water droplets and because of this reason, it is difficult to check the effect with Easy to clean or with self-cleaning which is a photo catalysis.
Self-cleaning photo catalysis: It is the most useful Nano-function in the construction of a building. It is also having a hydrophilic surface and also reduces the requirement of maintenance (Parthenopoulou, 2016).
Easy to clean: It has smooth surface with the surface repellent. This function is mainly used for the installation of costing ceramic sanitary and cubicle glazing showers.
Air purifying: The Nanomaterials help to improve the quality of air. It also helps to eradicate the pollutants and unpleasant smells.
Anti-fogging: The No technology helps to see the clear view with the help of electricity.
Thermal insulations: VIPs: Vacuum insulation panel is mainly used for providing the thermal insulation.
Thermal insulation: Aerogel: It is used as a material for filling in various types of cavities such as U-profile glass, between the glass panels (Chen, 2012).
Temperature regulation: PCMs: The phase change material can be used in new as well as old buildings. It is used to liquefy the paraffin.
UV protection: There are two types of ultraviolet rays which are used in a combination to filter out the rays.
Solar protection: The Nano technology provides an energy-efficient which means that it can be combined with any other glass function (Seh, 2013).
Fire-proof: It is highly efficient from the protection of fire.
Anti-graffiti: It is used to avoid unsightly graffiti to the locations such as building, construction area.
Anti-reflective: It is mainly used for solving the protection against mirror reflection.
Anti-bacterial: It is mainly used for reducing the disinfection and the main focuses on the bacteria (Zhang, 2014).
Anti-fingerprints: It is the solution of fingerprints on the interiors such as steel and glass.
Scratchproof and abrasion-resistant: It is mainly used the improvement of scratch-resistance, and it is desirable for the materials such as wood and metal (Niroumand, 2013).
Holistic application of Nano surfaces in interiors: It includes the overall concept of three schematic plans which is a strategic approach of using Nano functions in interior designs.
According to the above applications, current and the future scenario it is concluded that the applications of Nano technology in architecture can be varied from initial stage to the last stage. The architectures and scientists should take care of each and every issue related to environmental, ethical, cultural and architectural. The technologies such as disruptive technology give an opportunity to change into high value added areas. The government should take some incentive measures which enable the companies for creating new innovations.
