This study analyzed the effects of ultra-low concentrations of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) on the electromechanical properties of cement paste. Here, 0.025 and 0.050 wt % of MWNTs were dispersed using a poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) aqueous solution, which was then used for casting specimens. Because these concentrations make large-scale applications much more feasible, sample consistency and effects of saturation were also studied. Their resistivity ranges and strain sensing properties ( i.e. , gage factors) were characterized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
