Effects of Nano-TiO2 on the Toughness and Durability of Cement-Based Material
The effects of nano-TiO2 (NT) on microstructures and mechanical properties of cement mortars were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). Results show that 3% NT can remarkably increase the tensile/flexural strengths (i.e., the...
