RISUtilization of Silica Fume to Stabilize the Dispersion of Carbon Nanofilaments in Cement Paste
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The incorporation of carbon nanofilaments in cementitious materials has been researched extensively in the past decade. However, the poor dispersibility of these filaments remains a hurdle to harnessing their exceptional ...
FRP-Needles as Discrete Reinforcement in Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a new type of discrete reinforcing element for concrete produced from either waste or new pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials. These elements, referred to as FRP-Needles, are ...
Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposite Cement Incorporating Surface-Treated and Untreated Carbon Nanotubes and Carbon Nanofibers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To study the effects of functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) on the mechanical properties of cement composites, both untreated and treated CNFs and CNTs were added to cement paste in ...
Carbon Nanotubes and Carbon Nanofibers for Enhancing the Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposite Cementitious Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are quickly becoming two of the most promising nanomaterials because of their unique mechanical properties. The size and aspect ratio of CNFs and CNTs mean that they can ...
