  Polymer-Based Materials in Green and Sustainable Construction

  By Sarvesh P. S. Rajput

  Abstract: The escalating impacts of global warming, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, demand urgent action in the construction sector, which contributes over 40% of global CO₂ emissions. Smart buildings, designed to optimize energy use, water efficiency, and occupant comfort through automation and advanced materials, represent a transformative response to these challenges. The convergence of sustainability and urban development has spotlighted the need for green materials in smart building design. With buildings …

  Innovations in Polymer Chemistry for Smart Composite Materials in Building Applications

  By Sarvesh P. S. Rajput

  Abstract: Driven by the need to reduce maintenance costs and environmental impacts, researchers have developed smart polymers that not only sense damage but also autonomously respond to external stimuli such as temperature, mechanical stress, and light. In the built environment, these advanced polymers—particularly shape memory polymers (SMPs)—offer unique self-healing, self-sensing, and adaptive properties that enhance the durability, safety, and energy efficiency of structures. The emergence of smart polymers marks a significant …
