Abstract

Carbon nanotube(CNT) is one of the promising construction materials to produce concrete with high strength and durability by adding in the concrete mixtures from various researches. Also, its superior heat conductivity can be one of the options to develop self-heating concrete. In this research, the fundamental study was conducted to investigate mechanical properties and microstructures of cement pastes and mortars by strength tests and porosity measurement with several CNT additions, which were 0 wt%, 0.115 wt%, 0.23 wt% and 0.46 wt% of CNT-cement ratio. Compressive and flexural strength test were conducted at 3, 7 and 28 days, and pore characteristics were investigated by mercury intrusion porosimetry. SEM-EDS and Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) were conducted to prove the hydration product types and CNT dispersion in the cement matrix. As a result, even though high amount of CNT additions were caused worse performance, mixtures with 0.115 wt% of CNTs developed the similar performance with plain mixture.

탄소나노튜브는 고강도, 고내구성 콘크리트의 생산을 위한 새로운 재료 중 하나로 여겨지며, 많은 연구자들에 의하여 연구되고 있다. 탁월한 열전도도는 향후 자가발열 콘크리트의 개발에 필수적이며, 이 연구에서는 다양한 목적을 갖는 콘크리트의 개발을 위한 역학적 특성 및 미세구조 분석을 실시하였다. CNT 첨가량은 시멘트 중량대비 0.115, 0.23, 0.46wt%로 하였다. 압축강도/휨강도 시험은 재령 3, 7, 28일에 실시하였으며, 공극률은 MIP 시험을 통해 실시하였다. CNT 분산성 및 수화생성물 분석을 위하여, SEM 분석 및 열분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, CNT 첨가에 따른 역학성능은 다소 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 0.115wt% 첨가한 경우 플레인 배합과 동등 수준의 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 향후, 기존 콘크리트와 동일한 역학성능을 보유한 CNT 첨가 배합의 개발을 통한 발열성능 확보가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
