Nanotechnology is the booming technology and has numerous applications. However, applications in medicine are especially promising in the longer term. These can be expected to enable drug delivery, detect tumor cells, make hip-joint from biocompatible materials, lead to stronger and longer-lasting implants and sensors that can be used to monitor aspects of human health; and improved artificial cochleae and retinas. Nanotechnology is also enabling the development of smaller, cheaper sensors, which will have a wide range of applications from monitoring the pollution in the environment, the freshness of food, or the stresses in a building or a vehicle. Nanotechnology can also be used to produced sun creams, computer disk drives to improve storage, Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) for displays, photovoltaic film that converts light into electricity, fabrics coated to resist stains and control temperature, intelligent clothing to measures pulse and respiration, light but very strong bucky-tubeframe, nano-particle paint to prevent corrosion, thermo-chromic glass to regulate light, magnetic layers for compact data memory, carbon nanotube fuel cells to power electronics and vehicles. Italso has applications in construction mainly in binding the cracks, controlling pore size, increasing strength & durability of construction materials. The various applications of nanotechnology from medicine to construction as well as the synthesis, structure and thermophysical properties of calcium silicate h}tlrate (C-S-H) and C-S-H­ polymer nanocomposite (C-S-HPN) nanomaterials have been discussed in this work.
