Dispersion of carbon nanotubes for application in cement composites

Advanced technological aspects of cement based composites have been recently focused on developing new materials, which are high performance and exhibit high compressive strength. Using of carbon nanotubes improve microstructure and properties of cement matrix and make them promising fillers into many engineering materials. In this paper, experiments oriented at the study of dispersion of CNTs in water with respect to their use in cement compositions are described and a novel method of CNTs dispersion in water using pulsating water jets is proposed.
