Preparation of reinforced Nano-resistant cement by adding the ternary silica particles

Abstract

Systematic study on the modification of locally Portland cement (rpc_l) by adding nano-ternary silica (NS_t) particles with an average diameter  and the effect it has on its properties has been conducted. 

   An addition of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% content of NS_t to rpc_l, respectively, and the nanocomposite was then characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scan Electron Microscopy (SEM). The XRD and SEM tests were conducted to study the morphology and structure for the synthesized nano- rpc_l

   The results show that the addition of 10 wt%. of  NS_t is the best percentage to give the best properties for the nanocomposite.This improvement of the mechanical properties of the nanocomposite opens wider applications compared with the natural rpc_l.
