Cover Story: Carbon nanotube incorporation in cement-based materials can enhance their mechanical performance by acting as bridges across cracks and voids. The usual functionalization methods improve the dispersion of nanotubes but tend to cause delays in cement hydration kinetics, slowing down the formation of the microstructure of the composite. To prevent such undesired delay, a combined treatment with H2SO4, HNO3 , and Ca(OH) 2 was developed for carbon nanotube functionalization. View this paper
