Abstract
The calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) concentration in the cement paste mixed with different types of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and oxide additives is compared by using Raman spectroscopy. The pristine, hydroxyl and carboxyl functionalized CNTs are used in this work. The oxide additives are zinc oxide (ZnO), gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3), and silicon oxide (SiO2). A laser wavelength of 785 nm was used to collect the Raman spectra. It was observed that the concentration of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) is unaffected in CNTs-OPC matrices regardless of the type and weight percentage of the CNTs. The oxides, as expected, show significant effects on the concentration of the CSH in the matrices. An increase in the CSH concentration is observed in the ZnO and Gd2O3 matrices with cement. For the SiO2 cement paste matrix, however, the CSH concentration appears to be decreased. This study shows CSH concentration can be controlled by using oxide additives whereas CNTs do not react chemically with the cement composites.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
