The use of supplementary nano cementitious material (SNCM) to improve the mechanical properties and durability performances of cementitious composites (cement paste, mortar and concrete) has received remarkable attention in recent studies. The use of nanosilica as SNCM is a consolidated practice in the scientific community. However, recent developments in the synthesis of monodisperse and narrow-size distribution of nanoparticles by functionalization methods provide a significant improvement to the development of silica-group nano composites (among the functional groups: amine, carboxyls and glycol groups), the so-called functionalized nanosilica (FNS). This article aims to raise a literature review on the properties of FNS in cementitious materials and the advanced techniques of nano/micro structural analysis used to characterize cementitious composites containing FNS’s.

The most active research area is nanotechnology in cementitious composites, which has a wide range of applications and has achieved popularity over the last three decades. Nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as possible materials to be used in the field of civil engineering. Previous research has concentrated on evaluating the effect of different NPs in cementitious materials to alter material characteristics. In order to provide a broad understanding of how nanomaterials (NMs) can be used, this paper critically evaluates previous research on the influence of rheology, mechanical properties, durability, 3D printing, and microstructural performance on cementitious materials. The flow properties of fresh cementitious composites can be measured using rheology and slump. Mechanical properties such as compressive, flexural, and split tensile strength reveal hardened properties. The necessary tests for determining a NM’s durability in concrete are shrinkage, pore structure and porosity, and permeability. The advent of modern 3D printing technologies is suitable for structural printing, such as contour crafting and binder jetting. Three-dimensional (3D) printing has opened up new avenues for the building and construction industry to become more digital. Regardless of the material science, a range of problems must be tackled, including developing smart cementitious composites suitable for 3D structural printing. According to the scanning electron microscopy results, the addition of NMs to cementitious materials results in a denser and improved microstructure with more hydration products. This paper provides valuable information and details about the rheology, mechanical properties, durability, 3D printing, and microstructural performance of cementitious materials with NMs and encourages further research.

Cement based composite cementitious material containing steel slag used in road has been prepared to deal with the current situation that the transportation carbon emission increased year by year. In this material, 40% cement has been replaced by equivalent steel slag, which has the ability of CO2sequestration. This paper studied the CO2sequestration effect and the mechanical properties of the pure cement, the pure steel slag, and the cement based composite cementitious materials containing steel slag. It has been shown that the cement based composite cementitious materials containing steel slag have excellent CO2sequestration property. The mass fraction growth rate of carbon reached 10.86% after 1 hour carbonation experiment, the value between which of pure cement and pure steel slag, and the compressive strength of the composite cementitious materials at 28-day age can reach 45.3MPa, meeting the requirements of road.

With new type steel slag-blast furnace slag-fluorgypsum-based cemented material, P O42.5 cement, commonly used cementation agent in China, mechanical properties and microstructure of tailings solidification bodies are studied. The hydration products and morphology tailings concretion body in 60 days are analyzed by SEM and XRD test, which reveals the tailings cementation mechanism solidifying with different cementitious material. Furthermore, a large number of slender bar-like ettringite crystals and filamentous network-like calcium-silicate-hydrate gels bond firmly each other, which is the most important reason why steel slag-blast furnace slag-fluorgypsum base cemented material has the best tailings cementation mechanical properties.

Graphene, a two-dimensional monoatomic thick building block of a carbon allotrope, has emerged as nano-inclusions in cementitious materials due to its distinguished mechanical, electrical, thermal, and transport properties. Graphene nanoplatelet and its oxidized derivative graphene oxide were found to be able to reinforce and modify the cementitious materials from atomic scale to macroscale, and thereby endow them with excellent mechanical properties, durability, and multifunctionality. This article reviews the progress of fabrication, properties, mechanisms, and applications of graphene-based cementitious composites.

The effect of the thermal treated red mud on mechanical properties of loess –containing aluminosilicate based cementitious materials is investigated. And the characteristic of hydration production is tested using XRD, SEM and EDAX methods. The results show that the thermal treated red mud not only has excellent cementitious properties but also can improve the mechanical properties of loess –containing aluminosilicate based cementitious materials. Moreover when the content of red mud is 5%, the improved effect is optimal. On the one hand, the alkaline ingredients of red mud can promote abundant ettringites to produce at early ages. And the ettringites contribute to early strength of the cementitious material. On the other hand, the content of red mud is too high to improve the long-term strength.

Gangue materials have been used to solve mine disasters with a support tunnel along the goaf and filling mining. Mastering the properties and damage characteristics of filling materials is an important basis for effective implementation. Based on the conventional uniaxial compression acoustic emission (AE) test, the effects of cementitious materials, ratio between water and cementitious material, gangue particle size, and grading parameters on the mechanical properties of gangue-cement samples were analyzed. The stage characteristics of compression deformation were studied. The fracture propagation characteristics and rock mass failure types induced by different graded gangues were revealed. The fracture forming mechanism from clustered damage and failure was interpreted. The results show that the compressive strength of the backfill increases with the increase of cementitious material; however, it decreases with the increase of water binder ratio. Controlling the proportion and dosage of materials was the key factor to realizing pumpability and stability. Combined with the deformation and AE characteristics, the failure stage of the backfill body is divided into three stages: linear deformation-low energy changing, block compression-high energy changing, and gentle stability-stable energy changing. Affected by the gangue distribution, the load in each stage will induce fracture to produce five distribution modes of single, turning, breakthrough, bifurcated, and collapsed surrounding gangue. In the process of loading failure, different gradation and particle sizes will also change its stress concentration characteristics, resulting in the transformation of rock failure types. The surface structure and roughness of gangue play an important role in the compressive performance of cement paste. The research results try to provide some guidance for efficient filling mining.

There are some problems and weaknesses related to cement-based materials, such as their very low tensile strength, low chemical resistance and the huge contribution of cement production to industrial CO2 emissions. One possible method to reduce the impacts of such problems is the partial replacement of cement in cementitious materials with nano materials. This work provides a detailed review of incorporation of one of the most widely used nano materials, namely nano-titanium dioxide, and its effect on the properties of cementitious composites. Different properties have been considered in the current study, such as fresh properties, mechanical properties (compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength), durability (permeability, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), electrical resistivity, carbonation resistance, freeze and thaw resistance and sulfate attack resistance) and microstructural properties. This paper also investigates the optimum content of nano-TiO2 in cement-based materials. Moreover, the cost effectiveness of use on nano-titania in cementitious composites has been discussed. Nano titania reduces the workability and setting time of cement-based materials. It can be very effective in improving the mechanical properties, durability and microstructural properties of cementitious composites.
