Mechanical and Durability Characteristics of TiO₂ and Al₂O₃ Nanoparticles with Sisal Fibers

Abstract

The use of nanoparticles in concrete increases the material’s strength and durability, making it useful in the building sector. Nanomaterials can lower the amount of cement in a building since cement releases carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming. The mechanical response of concrete is studied in this study by replacing cement with various dosages of nanotitanium dioxide and nanoalumina. Nanotechnology has attracted a lot of attention in recent years because of its potential uses for particles. Cementitious materials at the nano/atomic level are the primary focus of current research. The mechanical characteristics of cementitious materials have been significantly improved by introducing nanotitanium dioxide and nanoalumina into cement. Nanotitanium dioxide and nanoalumina have been added to concrete in this study to examine its sorptivity and water absorption properties. To lower the carbon footprint of concrete, nanotitanium dioxide and nanoalumina can be used in place of cement.
