Cement manufacturing is currently responsible for one of the highest levels carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and energy consumption in construction industry. Thus, use sustainable binder materials instead cement has become a worldwide issue. Previous studies have shown that polymers are reliable alternative to construction, while polymer concretes (PCs) seen as biggest conventional long term. In ...

With a monolayer honeycomb-lattice of sp-hybridized carbon atoms, graphene has demonstrated exceptional electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. One of its promising applications is to create graphene-polymer nanocomposites with tailored mechanical and physical properties. In general, the mechanical properties of graphene nanofiller as well as graphene-polymer interface govern the overall...
