Nanotechnology has gradually emerged in various sectors, including architecture. Nanotechnology developed nanomaterials as environmentally friendly and highly efficient construction materials. It behaves differently with enhanced functional properties such as durability, strength, flexibility, lighter weight, self-cleaning capacity, etc. This study investigated the impact of integrating nanotechnology into the construction field from two perspectives: to minimize the environmental impact of buildings based on sustainability principles and to improve the functional efficiency of construction materials. The study aims mainly to propose a strategy for evaluating nanomaterials in construction as sustainable materials through four aspects related to sustainability principles. This was achieved progressively through a methodology that commenced with a theoretical study of the basics of nanotechnology and how it relates to the field of sustainable architecture. Moreover, it described and summarized some prevailing nanomaterials used in construction, such as concrete, glass, coatings, and thermal insulation materials. It also reviewed their functional efficiency in line with sustainability. Furthermore, this study examined some case studies based on the proposed strategy to evaluate the utilized nanomaterials in the case studies. On average, this study's results found that the used nanomaterials in the three case studies achieved 54.3% for sustainable design principles, 83% for Sustainable materials criteria, 60.3% for energy efficiency aspects, and 71.7% for ambient environment efficiency factors. On the other hand, it indicates that using nanomaterials in construction reduces harmful carbon emissions and improves the functionality of building materials to boost sustainable architecture.

“…Due to the fact that nanoscale fills are typically defectfree, the applications in the field of polymeric composite region setting have the potential to circumvent the limitations of the conventional micrometre scale. Consistent and ubiquitous inclusion of nanoparticles creates a wide interfacial contact surface, which affects relaxation behaviour as well as physical, molecular mobility, and thermal performance (Pasupathi et al 2020). Jiang et al (2013) studied the effect of nano-silica on the properties of polymer matrix composites containing urea formaldehyde.…”

The development of natural fiber (NFr) composites for a variety of applications is on the rise. The optimization of the interfacial bonding (IFB) between the reinforcing NFr and polymer matrix is perhaps the single most critical aspect in the development of natural fibre polymer composites (NFPCs) with high mechanical performance. While the IFB is critical in determining the mechanical properties of the NFPCs, such as stress transfer, it is one of the least understood components. This article offers a summary of IFB mechanisms, different modification approaches targeted at lowering incompatibility and improving IFB, and evaluation of the impact of IFB. It has been found that 1) In general, interdiffusion, electrostatic adhesion, chemical reactions, and mechanical interlocking are accountable for the IFB; 2) the incompatibility of the fibre and matrix, which results in poor dispersion of the fiber, weak IFB, and ultimately worse composite quality, may be addressed through strategic modifications; and 3) Interfacial interactions between polymers and nanoparticles (NPs) are significantly improving their performance in areas like thermal, mechanical, robust IFB, and moisture absorption. As a result, this review study could be an important resource for scholars interested in coating and treating NFr to further enhance their surface characteristics.

“…The controller is responsible for transferring batteries to the motor. The pedal is linked to a potentiometer, which transmits a signal to control indicating how much power to apply [26,27,28]. When the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the controller can provide low gain, maximum capacity when the pedal is completely pushed, or anywhere in between.…”

An electric vehicle has an alternative drive that uses electric motors and controllers to replace traditional internal combustion engines. Power comes from a battery or battery cell, not a carbon-based fuel. This not only saves money, but also has a low environmental impact. It also has a number of advantages over traditional internal combustion engines, particularly in terms of considerably reduced pollutants and increased energy efficiency. There are several impediments to the quick adoption of electric vehicles, including battery technical constraints, high purchasing costs, and a lack of charging infrastructure. In this conversion we can save and control the emission and pollution. In this work, a diesel fuel driven 909 CC commercial vehicle has been converted into the electric vehicle (EV) with suitable modifications in their power train. Then, the performance of the EV was analysed and it was found satisfactory. In this way, an attempt was made to retrofit the commercial diesel vehicle to work in electric power. The mileage of the EV was measured as 110 km per charge for the 25% load and 80 km per charge for the full load condition.
