⇚ Innovative Building Materials ⇛
People are working hard to come up with new technology and innovations that can simplify your life and benefits the society as well. Many new emerging innovative materials are being indented and many new materials are being in research, new innovative thinking and new invention is necessary our valuable time and energy as well. these building materials are not beneficial for the inhabitants but also for our environment.
Self- Repairing Cement

It may seem
that most of the materials have been designed to replace concrete, but cement
is itself still evolving. A new self-healing cement is currently being
developed which has the ability to repair its own cracks.
This cement is mixed with micro capsules
that release a glue-like epoxy resin that will automatically repair any cracks
that form in the sidewalk or roadway. In addition this cement will have the
ability to regulate heat. Phase-change materials that can absorb or release
large amounts of heat have also been included in the ingredients.
With this material we would be able to save
energy by developing buildings that can control their own temperature, and save
money on repairs as well.
Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber is an extremely strong,
lightweight material. It's five times as strong as steel, two times as stiff,
yet weighs about two- thirds less.
Carbon fiber is made up of carbon strands
that are thinner than human hair. The strands can be woven together, like
cloth, and then that can be molded to any shape you might want. In addition to
being strong, carbon fiber is also flexible, so it's the perfect material for
construction projects in areas with that are exposed to hurricanes and
tornado.
Bendable Concrete

Traditional concrete is a very brittle
material; any buckling or bending will cause it to crack. A new type of
fiber-reinforced bendable concrete might just be putting an end to that issue.
This new concrete is around 500 times more
resistant to cracking than regular concrete thanks to the tiny fibers, which
account for two percent of its make up. The fibers the concrete when bending
occurs, providing it with enough give to prevent breakage.
It isn't just the fibers though; the
materials in the concrete itself are designed for maximum flexibility as well.
And thanks to these precautions, this concrete has a much longer life
expectancy, which means it will cost a less in the long run too.
Electrified Wood

You may never have to deal with the tangle
of wires again thanks to “Wood.E.” This European-designed material incorporates
a source of electricity directly into tables and chairs.
Two metal layers are pressed between the
wood of the furniture, making it possible to pass an electrical current through
the whole thing. The 12-volt power is fed to the metal layers via one
connector, and lamps, and other devices can be connected via the other.
Not sure if this furniture will work with
all electrical outlets, but we're for any piece of furniture that means we
don't have to find a way to tie all our wires together.
SensiTile

When you walk across your kitchen floor to
get something from the refrigerator, the floor twinkles with lighted path that
guides your way through the dark room. At least it would, if you had
SensiTiles.
The concrete of the tiles is embedded with
acrylic fiber- optic channels that transfer light from one point to another. As
shadows move across Terrazzo's surface, the light channels flicker with a randomized,
twinkling effect.
Their tiles are available for use as
flooring, in bathrooms and even ceilings, so you can have twinkling lights
follow you all over the house.
