This paper evaluated the effect of graphene oxide/graphene (GO/GR) hybrid on mechanical properties cement mortar. The underlying mechanism was also investigated. In GO/GR hybrid, GO expected to act as a dispersant for GR while used reinforcement in mortar due its excellent properties. For specimen, flexural and compressive strength were measured at varied ratios 1:0, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3, 0:1 by keeping total amount constant. investigated through dispersibility GR, heat releasing characteristics...
In this paper, the influence of graphene oxide (GO) on microstructure interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in cement mortar was investigated through image analysis (IA) backscattered electron (BSE) micrographs. The results showed that incorporation GO significantly reduced thickness ITZ. porosity ITZ and bulk paste decreased due to introduction GO; meanwhile, compressive strength samples improved. addition also narrowed gap between paste, therefore, entire became more homogenous. Based above...
Abstract The fast aging of existing building stock requires effective and sustainable strengthening solutions. Textile-reinforced mortars (TRM) have already proved to be very as well versatile retrofitting solutions for reinforced concrete masonry structures. TRMs can enhance the load bearing capacity structures; however, current TRM systems are based on standard Portland cement-based binders, which largely contribute global human-induced CO 2 emissions. This work, first time, explores use...
