▎ 摘  要

Many studies have been conducted using carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs) for improving the electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of cementitious composites, but their practical use is yet to be achieved. Several methods have been attempted to secure the dispersibility in the cementitious composite matrix of CBNs, such as multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). In this study, MWCNTs and GNPs were noncovalently functionalized using melamine, a low-cost chemical, and ball milling, a simple process commonly used in industrial fields. Additionally, MWCNTs and GNPs having one- and two-dimensional shapes were mixed with the cement paste to examine their effect on electrical conductivity and compressive strength. Following the experiment, it was shown that the electrical conductivity was improved via the noncovalent functionalization of MWCNT and GNP. The compressive strength increased up to approximately 0.30-0.60% of the CBNs content; however, for CBN content higher than 0.60%, the compressive strength decreased. The hybrid MWCNT and GNP mixture had a negligible effect on the electrical conductivity and compressive strength.
