This book examines water-soluble high-modulus silicate systems properties and production techniques, how these systems transform from lower to higher oligomers as well as formation of silica sol and of the sol-gel processes for these oligomers. The authors explore in-depth the different aspects of using these materials as a binder and modifiers for manufacturing of hybrid nanostructured composites through sol-gel processes, as well as features of their structuring. Production of nanostructured silica polymer concrete serves as an example of the application of such silicate systems. The book also covers application of the sols for production of the hybrid nanocomposite monolithic blocks and ultralight fire-resistant materials and techniques for producing of the new nanocomposite acid-resistant materials and linings for corrosive environments. The book is intended for a wide range of scientists, engineers and practitioners, as well as teachers, post-graduate students and senior students of technical colleges studying the technology of nanocomposite silicate-based materials.

This book contains information about advanced nanomaterials that can be produced without harming the environment or human health. This encompasses the production of nanomaterials without environmental toxicity, at room temperature and with the use of renewable energy sources. The book contains the descriptions and results of theoretical and experimental researches in the field of environment friendly nanotechnology carried out over the past decade by the scientific team of company Polymate Ltd.-International Nanotechnology Center (Israel) under the leadership of Prof. O. Figovsky.

This book presents the results of theoretical and experimental research on novel concretes and protective compounds based on advanced polymer binders. It explores the present state of the field, including applications, characteristics, durability, and environmental impact associated with polymer concretes. The text examines two new polymers, namely, rubber concrete based on polybutadiene binder (RubCon) and silicate polymer concrete based on organo-silicate binder (OSPC) as well as novel polymer and silicate polymer coatings for corrosion and fire protection. It reflects the newest developments in the rapidly growing field of building materials engineering.
