Effect of CNT-COOH Addition on the Compressive Strength, Chloride Resistance, and Microstructure of Cement Mortar by Xiaofan Wang, Yao Shi, Xueyang Pei, Lipeng Cui, Hua Zhu

“…Using mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), it is shown that at a weight fraction of 0.10%, CNT-COOH effects a pore-size refinement by eliminating macropores (≥50 nm) and a 34% reduction in porosity. The (scanning electron microscopy) SEM and (X-ray diffraction) XRD analyses confirm that CNT-COOH leads to mature hydration products, nucleation effect, and a refined microstructure.…”
