Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of CaSO4 Whisker Reinforced Cement Mortar

Lianjian Wan, +2 more
- 01 Oct 2019 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of CaSO4 whiskers on the mechanical properties of the resulting cement mortar was also studied, and the results showed that the flexural strength and compressive strength of the mortar specimen was improved as high as 28.3% and 8.5% by incorporating 5 wt% CaSO 4 whiskers.

The Role of Nanoparticles on the Durability of Lime-Pozzolan Binding System

Eirini Chrysanthi Tsardaka, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different nanoparticles in lime-pozzolan system, in time, was evaluated and the results showed that the behavior of the other nanoparticles seems to favor certain properties more than nanosilica, especially at later ages.

Utilization of Nano Silica as Cement Paste in Mortar and Porous Concrete Pavement

Mohd Yusak Mohd Ibrahim, +4 more
- 01 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of nano silica in cement paste and mortar related to porous concrete pavement was reviewed and it was found that by incorporating nano-silica with the right composition in the mixture, it can be predicted that the strengthening effect would be further enhanced in porous concrete because the nano- silica improve not only the cement paste, but also the interface between paste and aggregate.

Mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes

Jean-Paul Salvetat, +6 more
- 01 Sep 1999 - 
TL;DR: A variety of outstanding experimental results on the elucidation of the elastic properties of carbon nanotubes are fast appearing as discussed by the authors, which are based mainly on the techniques of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to determine the Young's moduli of single-wall nanotube bundles and multi-walled nanotubels.

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.
