Heating Experiment of CNT Cementitious Composites with Single-Walled and Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

초록

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a primary nanomaterial that have outstanding physical and mechanical characteristics, and CNTs can be combined with cement-based materials to alter their heating characteristics. In this study, the types of CNTs used were multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Experiments were performed to determine the altered heating characteristics of the CNT cement mortars. The parameters of the experiment were CNT type, CNT content, curing age, and applied voltage. The results for the different CNT cement mortars indicate that mixing SWCNTs with water to produce CNT cementmortars wasmore effective for modifying the heating characteristics compared to mixing MWCNTs with water. In addition, field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) images supported the results found in the heating experiments.
