Cement Composites Reinforced with Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 July 2014
Abstract
This paper reports on the effect of surface functionalization of multi-wall carbon nanotubes on the strength and structure of portland cement composites. Reference nanotubes and nanotubes functionalized by carboxylic groups are used in this research.
Grafting of functional groups on the surface of the nanotubes allows the acceleration of cement hydration. It is established that the use of carboxylated nanotubes contributed to early strength development. The multi-wall carbon nanotubes reinforced composites are characterized by the high content of the calcium silicate hydrates and a very dense structure.
