Preparation and mechanical properties of graphene oxide: cement nanocomposites.

We investigate the performance of graphene oxide (GO) in improving mechanical properties of cement composites. A polycarboxylate superplasticizer was used to improve the dispersion of GO flakes in the cement. The mechanical strength of graphene-cement nanocomposites containing 0.

Predicting the impact of multiwalled carbon nanotubes on the cement hydration products and durability of cementitious matrix using artificial neural network modeling technique.

In this study the feasibility of using the artificial neural networks modeling in predicting the effect of MWCNT on amount of cement hydration products and improving the quality of cement hydration products microstructures of cement paste was investigated. To determine the amount of cement hydration products thermogravimetric analysis was used. Two critical parameters of TGA test are PHP(loss) and CH(loss).
