  The extensive use of nanomaterials in new products for the building envelope is expanding rapidly and continues to influence materials science and environmental health. However, there is still uncertainly around the safety of these novel materials to humans and the environment; therefore, more life cycle data is needed. One analytical technique to gather information critical to the development of safe nanomaterials is to characterize the physicochemical properties of the nano-enabled product along various stages of the product life cycle. This research investigates two different products fortified with nanoscale titania relevant to the building and construction industry: (1) a white paint and (2) a lacquer formulation. Three brands of commercially available titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were incorporated into labformulated paint and lacquer mixture.. Read More»
