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.
