Graphene oxide (GO) reinforced cement nanocomposites open up a new path for sustainable concrete design. In this paper, reactive force-field molecular dynamics was utilized to investigate the structure, reactivity and interfacial bonding of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H)/GO nanocomposite functionalized by hydroxyl (C-OH), epoxy (C-O-C), carboxyl (COOH) and sulfonic (SO3H) groups with a coverage of 10%. The silicate chains in the hydrophilic C-S-H substrate provided numerous non-bridging oxygen sites and counter ions (Ca ions) with high reactivity, which allowed interlayer water molecules to dissociate into Si-OH and Ca-OH. On the other hand, protons dissociated from the functional groups and transferred to non-bridging sites in C-S-H, producing carbonyl (C?O) and Si-OH. The de-protonation degree of the different groups in the vicinity of the C-S-H surface was in the following order: COOH (SO3H) > C-OH > C-O-C. In the GO-COOH sheet, most COOH groups were de-protonated to COO- groups, which enhanced the polarity and hydrophilicity of the GO sheets and formed stable COOCa bonds with neighboring Ca ions. The de-protonated COO- could also accept H bonds from Si-OH in the C-S-H gel, which further strengthened the interfacial connection. On the contrary, in the GO-Oo sheet, only 8% of the epoxy group was stretched open by the Ca ions and transformed to carbonyl group, showing weak polarity and connection with the C-S-H sheet. Furthermore, uniaxial tensile test on different C-S-H/GO models revealed that C-S-H reinforced with GO-COOH and GO-OH had better interfacial cohesive strength and ductility than that observed under tensile loading. Under the reaction force field, the dissociation of water, the proton exchange between the C-S-H and GO structure, and Oc-Ca-Os bond breakage occurred to resist tensile loading. The weakest mechanical behavior observed in the G/C-S-H, GO-Oo/C-S-H and GO-SO3H/C-S-H composites was attributed to the poor bonding, dissociation of functional groups and instability of atoms in the interface region. Hopefully, the molecular-scale strengthening mechanisms could provide a scientific guide for sustainable design of cement composites.
