Abstract

This study rigorously assesses the latest advancements in sustainable building materials, focusing on their classification, innovative production technologies, and performance metrics. We categorize sustainable materials into natural substances, such as bamboo and hemp; recycled products, like crushed concrete and recycled plastics; and innovative composites, including fiber-reinforced polymers. We emphasize the application of advanced manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing and automated fabrication, which significantly boost efficiency and minimize waste in the construction industry. These materials are critically evaluated using standards such as ASTM for mechanical properties and ISO for environmental impacts, affirming their practical viability and durability. However, the adoption of these materials faces obstacles like high initial costs, technical integration challenges, and stringent regulatory frameworks. We provide specific examples, such as the economic impact of switching to bio-based composites and the technical adjustments required for incorporating recycled plastics into structural applications. Looking forward, this paper delves into prospects and research directions, highlighting the need for scalability and integration into conventional construction practices to fully harness the potential of these sustainable materials. This work underscores the vital role of sustainable materials in fostering environmentally friendly and resilient built environments, advocating for continued research and interdisciplinary collaboration to navigate existing challenges and achieve widespread implementation.
可持续建筑材料的新兴趋势:技术创新、增强性能和未来方向
本研究严格评估了可持续建筑材料的最新进展,重点关注它们的分类、创新的生产技术和性能指标。我们将可持续材料分为天然物质,如竹子和大麻;回收产品,如碎混凝土和再生塑料;创新的复合材料,包括纤维增强聚合物。我们强调3D打印和自动化制造等先进制造技术的应用,这将显著提高建筑行业的效率,并最大限度地减少浪费。这些材料采用ASTM机械性能标准和ISO环境影响标准进行严格评估,确认其实际可行性和耐用性。然而,这些材料的采用面临着诸如高初始成本、技术集成挑战和严格的监管框架等障碍。我们提供了具体的例子,例如转向生物基复合材料的经济影响,以及将再生塑料纳入结构应用所需的技术调整。展望未来,本文深入探讨了前景和研究方向,强调需要可扩展性和整合到传统建筑实践中,以充分利用这些可持续材料的潜力。这项工作强调了可持续材料在促进环境友好和有弹性的建筑环境中的重要作用,倡导持续的研究和跨学科合作,以应对现有的挑战并实现广泛实施。
