Mechanical Strength of Graphene Reinforced Geopolymer Nanocomposites: A Review

The emergence of high-strength graphene marks a new milestone in the material science field. With only small percentage inclusion into matrix system, this organic nanoparticle could tremendously improve strength vast arrays composites. At same time, there is growing interest using low-cost, lightweight, and high early geopolymer as binder for concrete. Compared to traditional Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), emits 80% less CO 2 during its production while exerting similar strength. Thus, has potential commercialize green Geopolymer mixture aluminosilicate powders alkaline solutions. When incorporated with nano-sized graphene, forms composite known Graphene Reinforced Nanocomposite (GRGN). addition enhances geopolymer, which can further competitiveness. However, depends on several factors, including types surface modification concentration Generally, presence alters porous structure substantially filled structure, thus increasing compressive flexural On other hand, Oxide (GO) undergoes chemical reduction solution, producing epoxy functional groups. treatment results two conditions are weak interaction between matrix, better dispersibility matrix. This review also highlights analytical modelling aspect GRGN. dissolution Si(OH) 4 Al(OH) 4- from source was consistent experimental work modeling, Si–OH surface-modified indicated otherwise. Therefore, paper will provide an insightful GRGN mechanical properties.
