These benefits depend on coupled material, processing, matrix, and service variables, making conventional trial-and-error development inefficient. Machine learning (ML) offers a data-driven route for resolving nonlinear composition\u2013processing\u2013structure\u2013property relationships. This review combines a CiteSpace-based bibliometric analysis of Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) records with a structured qualitative synthesis of ML-assisted studies on zero-dimensional nanoparticles, one-dimensional high-aspect-ratio nanomaterials, two-dimensional layered nanomaterials, functional nanomaterials, carbon dots, and emerging hybrid systems. Annual output increased from four publications in 2012 to 268 in 2025, and ML showed the strongest recent keyword burst (strength = 22.57). Across representative studies, reported test-set coefficients of determination commonly ranged from 0.858 to 0.995, although validation designs and data independence varied markedly. Tree-based ensembles were generally effective for small-to-medium tabular datasets, whereas deep learning was most defensible for images, spectra, and time-series data. Prediction estimates properties for a specified formulation; optimization uses a validated surrogate model to search the formulation or processing space and therefore requires independent experimental verification. Nano-SiO2, carbon nanotubes, and graphene oxide dominate the evidence base, while durability, microstructure, uncertainty quantification, and multifunctional co-optimization remain underrepresented. Matrix-aware standardized databases, physically constrained models, grouped or external validation, and closed-loop experiments are required for reliable intelligent design. The bibliometric component covers 1324 Web of Science Core Collection records published during 2012\u20132026, whereas the qualitative component applies explicit criteria for construction relevance, definition of the ML task, and sufficiency of performance and validation reporting. Bibliometric patterns and qualitative evidence are therefore reported and interpreted separately.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano16191212","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]],"date-time":"2026-09-24T16:29:53Z","timestamp":1790267393000},"page":"1212","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Machine-Learning-Driven Performance Optimization of Nano-Modified Construction Materials: A Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8019-7991","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaochuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architectural Engineering, Yan\u2019an University, Yan\u2019an 716000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gaofei","family":"Kong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yan\u2019an Medical College, Yan\u2019an University, Yan\u2019an 716000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiaji","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Taizhou University, Taizhou 318000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiqi","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Taizhou University, Taizhou 318000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xingqiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Taizhou University, Taizhou 318000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haijie","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Taizhou University, Taizhou 318000, China"},{"name":"College of Civil and Architectural Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Taizhou University, Taizhou 318000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"e05063","article-title":"Transforming civil engineering: The role of nanotechnology and AI in advancing material durability and structural health monitoring","volume":"23","author":"Firoozi","year":"2025","journal-title":"Case Stud.
