Abstract

Nano-ZrO2 particles with high strength and toughness are added into cementitious composites to reinforce/modify their properties/performances. The effects of the content of nano-ZrO2 as well as curing method on the mechanical/electrical properties/performances and durability of cementitious composites are investigated. The enhancement mechanisms are analyzed through X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, thermogravimetry, and scanning electron microscope tests. Experimental results show that the nano-ZrO2 significantly enhances the mechanical/electrical properties/performances and durability of cementitious composites due to its high strength and toughness in combination with small size and filling effects.
