[Excerpt] Materials Science knowledge has been applied to Civil Engineering to provide new
capabilities and benefits for the environment and society. Through the functionalization
process with nano/microparticles, Civil Engineering materials can become smart. This study
presents the main results of the research work with photocatalytic (nano-TiO2
) and
thermochromic (Leuco dye) materials on road pavements and road markings [1-5]
