Influence of Nano-silica on the Leaching Attack upon Photocatalytic Cement Mortars

Atta-ur-Rehman, +4 more
- 01 Dec 2019 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of nano-silica addition on the leaching attack on photocatalytic cement mortars was thoroughly investigated, and it was shown that the addition of nano silica decreased mechanical and micro-structural damages in the photocatally-cured mortars and increased the resistance of the mortars to leaching attacks.

Microstructure of cement mortar with nano-particles

Hui Li, +3 more
- 01 Mar 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical properties of nano-Fe2O3 and nano-SiO2 cement mortars were experimentally studied and the experimental results showed that the compressive and flexural strengths measured at the 7th day and 28th day of the cement mortar mixed with the nano-particles were higher than that of a plain cement mortar.
