The San Luigi Gonzaga srl has found new uses of nanostructured materials , dealing with research that could be flying through the creation of all those products used in the building .
The use of these technologies greatly expands the alternatives available to the designer from the choice of materials to be used to change the very way of conceiving the building organisms thanks to the extraordinary and unusual properties that are nanostructured materials .
There are several types of nanocomposites used with organic matrix ( Polimetrica ) or inorganic ( cement or glass ) which are linked by chemical or nanoparticles nanopowders also based inorganic ( metal oxides or ceramic) as the organic (carbon) .
E ‘ can also cover nanostructured coatings by most of the materials commonly used in construction, selecting the type of coating according to the performance specifications.

Examples:

• nanotechnological applications in cementitious materials: improvement of mechanical and rheological properties, pollutant abatement.
• multifunctional coatings based on nanomaterials for building products: improvement of flame retardant properties, surface mechanical, self-cleaning, anti-bacterial, hydrophobic, self-healing and aesthetic.
• Surface treatment of natural stone surfaces (marble, travertine, onyx, granite, quartzite etc.).
• Applications of nanocomposites in polimetrici materials for building: elements fiber reinforced polymetric agglomerated marble, adhesives, mortars, consolidation of porous materials.
• Integration of solutions based on nanotechnology for efficient buildings in terms of energy. Insulation materials, innovative transparent.
