Nanomaterials could change the face of modern construction because they are more resistant, more durable and have notable features. Concrete is a material widely used in construction industry worldwide. Carbon nanotube has been considered a new and outstanding material in nanoscience field with great potential application in the construction industry. The study presented in this paper, aims at assessing how carbon nanotubes can affect cement composites and so the concrete, in terms of microstructure and physical-mechanical properties. Three different ratios of carbon nanotubes have been searched: 0.20%, 0.40% and 0.60%. To evaluate the mechanical properties of the samples, destructive and non-destructive tests were carried out to obtain compressive strength, tensile strength by diametrical compression, dynamic modulus of elasticity as well as the determination of their deformation properties. This work also aims to motivate entrepreneurs and professionals in the sector of civil engineering on the advantages of the application of nanotechnology in construction, as well as providing information to the scientific and technological community in general.

Excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability make carbon nanotubes (CNTs) some of the most promising nanomaterials that can be used in cementitious composites to improve their performance. However, the difficulty of CNTs’ dispersion within the cementitious structure still exists and thus prevents the homogeneous distribution of CNTs. The homogeneous distribution of CNTs within a composite structure plays an essential role that can have a positive effect on the mechanical performance of CNT-cement composites. This paper introduces the methods for the production of CNTs and provides useful information about the influence of CNTs on the flowability, mechanical performance, microstructural changes and hydration of cement composites. The influences of water-cement ratio, used surfactants and various doses of CNTs on the properties of cementitious composites were also studied.

This study focuses on the utilization of highly densified materials in cementitious composites with objectives of improving the mechanical performance and minimizing the number and size of defects. Due to their excellent mechanical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are now viewed as potential candidate for reinforcement in cement composites. The present paper reports the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as reinforcement to improve the mechanical properties of portland cement paste and creating multifunctional concrete. In order to increase the bonding, and strength, a material with intermediate fineness, highly densified silica fumes, was also utilized. The densified silica fumes along with CNT are added to cement mortar in various proportions. Small-scale specimens were prepared to measure the mechanical properties as a function of nanotube concentration and distribution. Furthermore, properties like shrinkage, permeability and alkalinity of the resultant composite were also investigated. The study addresses the significance of CNT as an additive to the enhancement of properties of cement composite.

For their remarkable properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered as promising candidate for next generation of high performance and functional cement-based composites in 21st century. The paper focuses on the dispersibility, mechanical property, durability, conductivity and piezoresistivity properties of CNTs reinforced cement-based materials. A homogenous CNTs-suspension was obtained using the method which combined ultrasonic processing with mechanical stirring, electric-field introduction and surfactant decoration. The low weight fraction of CNTs improved the mechanical properties of CNTs/cement composites. The compressive strength and toughness were correspondingly improved. The added CNTs improved the sulfate attack resistance and impermeability properties of the prepared CNTs/cement mixes. Meanwhile, the added CNTs improved the pressure-sensitive, conductivity and electromagnetic absorption properties of the prepared mixes, which laid a foundation of multi-functional concrete and structure. It concludes that the key issue for CNTs/cement composites is the dispersibility and the compatibility of CNTs in cement matrix. The solving solutions are put forward. In the meantime, the further research prospects in this research field are forecasted.

The carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/cement composites with different doping levels of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and water/cement ratios are fabricated. By comparing the responses of electrical resistance of these CNTs/cement composites to compressive stress, the effects of MWNT doping level and water/cement ratio on the piezoresistive sensitivity of composites are investigated. Experimental results indicate that the piezoresistive sensitivities of CNTs/cement composites with 0.05 wt. %, 0.1 wt. % and 1 wt. % of MWNTs firstly increase and then decrease with the increase of CNT doping levels. The electrical resistance of CNTs/cement composites 0.6 water/cement ratio is more sensitive to compressive stress than that of composites with 0.45 water/cement ratio.
