“…As the viscosity rises, this stops the mixture from flowing. Abdulkadir et al [69] reported that the use of GO as a nano-additive component resulted in self-compacting ECC, which then resulted in reducing the slump flow of fresh concrete. According to Wei et al [70], the flow rate of cement matrixes comprising 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03% of GO, decreased by 7.9%, 10.0%, and 13.1%, respectively.…”

Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) are widely used in various structures due to their high strength, durability, and ductility. However, they are still vulnerable to environmental factors such as sulphate and acid attack. These attacks damage the concrete matrix, which leads to cracking and corrosion of the reinforcing steel. To mitigate these issues, various techniques have been developed, including the addition of graphene oxide to the ECC mix. Graphene oxide has shown potential in improving the mechanical properties and durability of ECC. The purpose of this study was to use multi-objective optimization to identify an appropriate GO by the weight of the cement and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber volume fraction in an ECC mixture. Using RSM’s central composite design (CCD), thirteen mixtures of various possible combinations of variables (GO: 0.05 percent to 0.08 percent, PVA: 1–2 percent) were established, and eight response responses (compressive strength, change in length, weight loss, pH test, weight gain, expansion, rapid chloride permeability test and water absorption) were examined. However, analysis of variance was used to effectively design and evaluate eight (six quadratic and two linear) response models. All the models had extremely high R2 values, ranging from 84 percent to 99 percent. The multi-objective optimization produced ideal variable values (GO: 0.05 percent and PVA: 1%) and projected optimum response values. The predicted values were verified experimentally and found to correlate extremely well with the experimental data, with less than a 5% error. The outcome showed that the maximum increase of 30% in the compressive strength was recorded at 0.05% of GO as a nanomaterial in ECC. In addition, the expansion due to sulfate resistance and change in length due to acid attack were decreased by 0.0023% and 0.28%, respectively, when the use of 0.08% of GO as a nanomaterial in the ECC matrix was reinforced with 1% PVA fiber for 28 days. Moreover, the weight loss and weight gain of ECC combined with 1% of PVA fiber due to chemical attack decreased by 66.70% and 77.80%, respectively, at 0.08% of GO as a nanoscale particle than that of the reference mix for 28 days. In addition, the pH value due to acid attack, rapid chloride permeability test value, water absorption, and slump flow of the fresh mixture were decreased as the concentration of GO rose in ECC. The results indicated that the incorporation of 0.05% GO as a nanomaterial and 1 to 1.5% of PVA fiber will provide the best outcomes for the construction industry.

Wearable technology refers to the devices that are integrated with textiles, or implanted in the body or plants for smart monitoring. Hence, this wearable technology has attracted tremendous attention from researchers globally due to its smart functions to be useful for mankind. The key target of this review is to examine the potential of rubber composite materials for such wearable devices. The rubber composites reviewed explore silicone rubber as a rubber matrix (SR). Another objective includes the use of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in pristine and functionalization forms explored as reinforcing fillers. Moreover, prospects of CNT including their structure, properties, and types are explored both in pristine and functionalized state are reviewed. Following this, the mechanical, and electrical, properties of such composites are reviewed. The reported results show that the reinforcing properties are strongly improved by adding functional groups to CNT in rubber composite. These improvements in reinforcing properties are assisted by the functional groups like carboxyl (OH), carbonyl (CO), epoxy, and alkoxy (CO) on the surface of filler are useful. They assist in improving the filler‐rubber compatibility thereby improving filler dispersion and thus finally mechanical and electrical properties. Following this, such improved properties are explored for specific real‐time wearable technologies. This real‐time monitoring includes nursing plant pulse growth monitoring, health monitoring, and humidity sensors. The review further proposes that the functionalized CNTs can be useful for obtaining robust real‐time strain‐sensing monitoring. Moreover, it assists in obtaining sharp response time, strain sensitivity, and good stretchability. Finally, the prospects and challenges are explored discussing the real‐time monitoring of these sensors.Highlights Configurations for nursing plant growth and other monitoring parameters are reviewed. The properties of pristine and functionalized carbon nanotubes reinforced silicone rubber for wearable technology were reviewed. The mechanical, and electrical aspects of functionalized carbon nanotubes were comparatively reviewed. Applications such as wearable strain sensors, humidity sensors, and wearable plant pulse monitoring sensors were reported.
