Paint smart
The new application of nanotechnology allows for the creation of a special paint that helps detect tiny cracks before they begin to spread.

Strathclyde University, Scotland, announced in a statement today that it has created a ground-breaking, yet inexpensive, paint that can detect tiny cracks in the surface of a wind turbine. , before the actual impact on the structure appears.
In addition to its environmentally-friendly features, the intelligent paint uses nanotechnology to detect movements on large structures, as a kind of sensor that can warn about the safety of the structure.
Traditional remedies are often complex, time consuming and expensive. Strathclyde University paints can be sprayed onto any surface, with electrodes attached to the structure and create a sensor system spread across the entire surface.
In addition, the cost of the new paint is only a fraction of the conventional method of making ash and nanotubes.
