Effects of nano-SiO2 on the permeability-related properties of cement-based composites with different water/cement ratios

Rui Liu, +7 more
- 01 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of nano-SiO2 on the enhancement of the impermeability becomes more remarkable at a lower water/cement ratio, and the decreasing rates of D fixme nssm, K petertodd p, and S fixme i increase as the W/C ratio decreases.

Characterization of mechanical behavior and mechanism of calcium carbonate whisker-reinforced cement mortar

Mingli Cao, +3 more
- 15 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a new kind of micro-fibrous material, calcium carbonate whisker (CaCO3 whisker), was incorporated in order to reinforce cement mortar, which improved not only the compressive and flexural strength of cement mortar but also the load-deflection curves and work of fracture.

Effect of nanosilica addition on the fresh properties and shrinkage of mortars with fly ash and superplasticizer

Mohammed Sonebi, +4 more
- 01 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and model the fresh and hardened properties of cement mortars including nanosilica and fly ash, and relate their properties to the proportioning of these materials and the superplasticizer dosage.

Dispersion and alignment of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrix: A review

Xiaolin Xie, +3 more
- 19 May 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review recent progress and advances that have been made on: (a) dispersion of CNTs in a polymer matrix, including optimum blending, in situ polymerization and chemical functionalization; and (b) alignment of CNNs in the matrix enhanced by ex situ techniques, force and magnetic fields, electrospinning and liquid crystalline phase-induced methods.

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.
