Summary: The study focuses on the rheological, mechanical, and microstructural properties of HNT reinforced cementitious composites under varying ultrasonication energies. It was found that higher ultrasonication energy reduced porosity, leading to improved compressive and flexural strength, but decreased workability of fresh HNT cement mortars. The research highlights the importance of finding the optimal ultrasonication energy independent of HNT concentration for enhancing the engineering properties of the composites.

Summary: The study found that ultrasonication may have negative effects on the dispersion of functionalized carbon nanotubes and superplasticizers, with no significant impact on the concrete performance. Increasing the content of 0.05% CNT and ultrasonication amplitude can improve the static and dynamic yield stress of the mixture, but does not significantly affect hydration kinetics. The optimal CNT content can increase the strength of the composite by up to 15.8%.

Summary: In this study, carbon fiber composite laminates were modified by carbon nanotube films. Out-of-plane compressive properties were improved by CNT interlaminar toughening, but the dynamic in-plane compression performance was decreased due to delamination inside of CNT film. Two methods were used to prepare the mode I fracture test and results showed that CNT prolonged crack propagation path and improved interlaminar fracture properties.

Summary: Chemical functionalization of carbon nanotubes using a mix of sulfuric and nitric acids enhances their hydrophilicity, which improves their dispersion in water and cement matrix. This study treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes with acid and used them to prepare solutions with low amounts of poly-carboxylate ester (PCE) by ultrasonic sonication. The acid-treated carbon nanotubes contained 13% carboxyl functional groups and showed increased hydrophilicity and better bonding with cement hydration products. The addition of acid-treated carbon nanotubes resulted in a 55% increase in the mechanical strength of cement paste.

Summary: In this study, graphene oxide (GO) was used to reinforce and modify the interface of lightweight cement composites. The results showed that GO significantly reduced high-porosity regions between the cement matrix and polymer scaffold, leading to the formation of low-density calcium-silicate-hydrates.

Summary: Colloidal nanosilica (CNS) has great potential in improving the quasi-static mechanical properties of cement composites, but its effects under high strain rates have been rarely investigated. This study found that although CNS significantly improved the quasi-static mechanical properties of cement composites, it had detrimental effects on their dynamic strength, stiffness, energy absorption, and fragmentation behavior. These negative effects were attributed to the rapid flocculation of CNS upon mixing with the alkaline environment of cement, resulting in the formation of a weak and porous hydration phase.

Summary: In this paper, a surface functionalisation approach was used to modify the surface functional groups of GO by APTS, providing repulsive effects to better isolate GO nanosheets from each other, while the accelerating effects of GO compensated for the retardation effects of APTS. The GO-APTS structure was stable in the highly alkaline sodium silicate environment and significantly improved the dispersion of nanosheets in the geopolymer composite. Furthermore, APTS enabled the nucleation and reinforcing effects of GO. The GO-APTS-cement samples demonstrated better workability, transport properties, and mechanical strength compared to reference and pure GO samples, indicating the effectiveness and potential of silane-functionalised GO in geopolymer systems.

Summary: Understanding the microstructure of LC3 is crucial for controlling cement properties. This study employs deep learning and image-based characterisation to investigate the spatial correlation and pore morphology of LC3, revealing its microstructural refinement effects. The findings highlight the lower probability of connected pores but higher likelihood of connected solid particles in LC3 compared to OPC, as well as a smaller RVE size and increased packing density. The analysis also demonstrates a higher hydration rate and pore deformation in LC3. These results provide insights into the microstructural mechanisms of LC3 and offer a foundation for localised characterisation of cementitious materials.

Summary: This study demonstrates the improvement of mechanical properties and reduction of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in graphene oxide (GO)/epoxy (EP) nanocomposites by enhancing the interface between GO and EP through functionalization and incorporating rigid-flexible interphases. The results reveal that the SiO2-PEA-GO hybrid exhibits better strengthening and toughening effects, as well as lower CTE, compared to the PEA-GO hybrid due to the presence of rigid-flexible interfaces with higher bonding strength and better energy dissipation mechanisms. Additionally, the nanocomposites with longer polyetheramine (PEA) molecules in the rigid-flexible interphases demonstrate higher strength and toughness, while maintaining a lower CTE. This work provides a promising strategy for constructing adjustable flexible-rigid interfacial structures and offers potential in developing GO/EP nanocomposites with high mechanical properties and low CTE.
