Abstract:The durability of cementitious materials is significant concerning long-term performance. Nanomaterials are promising candidates for deep refinement of cement durability. Hydrophobic calcium carbonate is a widely applied and easily accessible nanomaterial. However, its hydrophobicity and poor dispersity in water prohibit its direct application in cementitious materials. In this study, hydrophobic calcium carbonate nanoparticles (HbCC) were modified using a novel amphiphilic comb-shaped dispersant that is capab… Show more
