Abstract :
In recent years, the use of nanotechnology (nano-particles, nanomaterial, nano-additives and nanostructuredmaterials) has attracted attention of scholars, engineers and scientists in all scientificfields such as chemistry, medicine, material, agriculture, electronic etc. The use of nanotechnologyhas also become widespread in the refractory products (which mainly used in various industries suchas steel, casting, cement, glass etc.). Therefore, the effect of using different types and contents ofnanomaterials (oxides and non-oxides) as well as the control of microstructure has been evaluatedby many researchers on the properties of shapes (bricks) and un-shaped (monolithic) refractoryproducts. The obtained results were very promising and satisfactory. One of the most consumablerefractory products in various industries is monolithic refractories, which has been widely usedbecause of their great benefits to the other refractory products (bricks). In this paper, recent advancesin monolithic refractories by using the finding of nanotechnology are presented. This article can beconsidered as guidance for researchers, students gain easy access to experimental results obtainedby different research group using nanotechnology and nano materials in monolithic refractories.
