Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Ch-TiO₂-CuO nanohybrid composite on the surface properties and antimicrobial effects of Glass fiber-reinforced concrete (GFRC) panels. GFRC panels are known for their durability and aesthetic compatibility, making them suitable for exterior facades and historic restoration work. However, their porosity and hydrophilic nature make them susceptible to microbial colonization, affecting their durability and visual appeal.

To address this, antimicrobial nanohybrid crystals (Ch-TiO₂-CuO) were developed using a hydrothermal method and incorporated into GFRC panels. This integration offers significant advantages, including reduced maintenance, long-term structural integrity, and preserved aesthetic properties. Additionally, this approach aligns with sustainability goals by enhancing the environmental friendliness of GFRC over its lifetime.

The study concludes that incorporating antimicrobial agents into GFRC production supports smart city initiatives by providing long-term protection against microbial degradation while maintaining aesthetic standards, thus contributing to cleaner, safer urban environments.

期刊介绍： Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged. Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
