Books by Oleg Figovsky

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.
