Enhancement of transport properties of cement mortar and concrete by using graphene oxide

Transport phenomena in cementitious materials involve movement of mass and heat. Studying of these phenomena has been long ago representing a key solution to understand durability problems of cementitious composites. Most of transport phenomena take place in the pores of the microstructure of cementitious materials; hence modifying pores structure to control movement of any aspects is considerable goal to be achieved. In this study, the microstructure of the cementitious martials has been re-structured by adding nano material of graphene oxide. The test results showed considerable enhancement in transport properties of the cementitious matrix with graphene oxide.
