▎ 摘 要
Graphene has emerged as one of the most promising nanomaterials because of its unique characteristic of being one of the thinnest yet the strongest material. The strength and durability of a novel surfactant functionalized graphene induced concrete composite has been investigated. The water stabilized graphene dispersion at dosages of 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 1 gm/l were used in concrete composites of nine different mixes. An increase of up to 95%, 55% and 27% is achieved in flexural, tensile and compressive strength respectively due to addition at 1 gm/l dosage of graphene. Vice versa, an increase in water absorption and shrinkage is also observed. The study directs towards yield of a graphene nanoengineered concrete which would be of utmost importance in coming years for a sustainable solution in the construction industry.
