Development of eco-friendly concrete using graphene nanoplateles

Reducing the cement content in concrete while maintaining its fresh and hardened properties will reduce its carbon footprint and associated environmental impact. Due to their outstanding mechanical and physical properties, nanomaterials based on graphene have become an innovative form of nano-reinforcement used in concrete. Indeed, graphene nanoplatelets have emerged as highly effective additives capable of not only decreasing cement content in concrete but also enhancing its micro and macro properties. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the influence of graphene nanoplatelets on the engineering performance of concrete, thereby contributing to the development of the next generation of eco-friendly concrete.
