Abstract

Nanomaterials, especially carbon-based products, have long been a cutting-edge research topic in the realm of concrete and cement. Among these, graphene along with its related compounds stand out as the most widely studied nano-additives for cementitious materials. Although some of this topic has been covered in the literature, more research is still necessary to completely comprehend the physical properties of cement composites containing graphene oxide (GO).

In order to investigate the impact of water-dispersed GO on the paste properties of physical cement, this study compares a typical paste. Using a 7-day curing period, six graphene oxide percentages (0.01%, 0.03%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5%) were studied. Setting time decreased to 0.05% graphene content, increased up to 0.3%, and plateaued thereafter. Workability reduced due to graphene oxide’s high specific surface, affecting water absorbency. Electrical resistivity increased to 0.05% graphene content, decreasing afterward due to ion diffusion. Optimal Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity was observed at 0.3% graphene oxide. Lower values are attributed to voids and bubbles in graphene oxide-containing mixtures.
