Advanced Composite Applications in the Construction Industry

Composites offer the designers a combination of properties not available in traditional materials. In addition to the use of composite material in the construction itself it has also gained momentum in the product that complete construction. For example, composite materials have been used in products that are used in bathroom (sink, closet, urine, faucet, seat) or that are used as ceramic coating material (wall tile, floor tile, porcelain stoneware tile). New advanced surface functionalities such as easy to clean, self-cleaning, anti-fingerprint, anti-slip, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, stain resistance, wear resistance, scratch resistance have attracted much recent interest in the scientific community. In order to design these new surfaces nano materials and/or composite materials indispensable. The ultimate goal of this study is to present examples of these new functional products.
