Comparative effects of graphene oxide on the interfacial transition zone in silica fume-modified cement mortar at varying water-to-binder ratios by Sumin Im, Seongmin Cho, Junxing Liu, Peiqi Li, Dahyung Jin, Sungwon Sim, Seungmin Lim, Sungchul Bae

“…GO enhanced the degree of hydration by providing nucleation sites and promoting the pozzolanic reaction of silica fume and Ca(OH)2, leading to the formation of secondary amorphous phases. In the mortars containing GO, the calcium-to-silicon ratio of the phase around the aggregate surface increases because the GO nanosheets absorbed Ca2 + ions and migrated with the mixing water. …”
