Effect of Graphene Oxide in Cement Mortar and its Strengthening Mechanism

In the present study, the effect of water-dispersed powder Graphene Oxide (GO) nanoparticles on cement mortar and its mechanical Strength after 3, 7 and 28 days of Curing is analysed. These properties were studied by adding 0.00 w/w% ,0.03 w/w%,0.05 w/w%,0.07 w/w% of cement to Obtain Compressive strength and tensile strength of cement mortar. It observed that for 0.03% w/w of cement addition increase in compressive strength is 23.07%, for 0.05% w/w of cement addition increase in compressive strength is 35.59%, and for 0.07% w/w of cement addition increase in compressive strength is 31.52% after 28 Days of curing. Tensile strength analysis for 0.03% w/w of cement addition increase in Tensile strength is 4.46%, for 0.05% w/w of cement addition increase in Tensile strength is 34.70%, that for 0.07% w/w of cement addition increase in Tensile strength is 37.45% after 28 Days of curing. By the addition of different proportions of graphene oxide, the compressive strength increases till the addition of 0.05 % w/w of cement slightly decreases. For tensile strength with addition of graphene oxide the tensile strength is increased.
