Sustainability of nanomaterials based self-healing concrete: An all-inclusive insight

Presently, the construction industries worldwide are looking for materials with low carbon footprint and environment friendliness. Yet, ordinary Portland cements (OPC) based materials are widely used in building sectors and remain majorly responsible for carbon pollution. The deterioration that happ...
