Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The incorporation of nanofillers into structures has revolutionised the field of civil engineering. By enhancing mechanical, thermal, and functional properties, nanofiller-reinforced cemented structures offer solutions to challenges in durability, strength, and sustainability for modern construction. This article reviews the advances in nanofiller-reinforced fibre-reinforced polymer laminates, emphasising their role in civil applications, such as structural reinforcement, seismic retrofitting, and long-term durability improvements. The study also explores challenges in manufacturing, scalability, and environmental impact, providing directions for future research and large-scale adoption.
