“…Rising damp, humidity, and water, in general, cause irreversible structural and aesthetic damages to buildings [ 1 ]. In fact, water infiltrations transport chloride ions into the reinforced concrete, triggering the corrosion of the steel reinforcement, and the produced rust causes the concrete spalling [ 1 , 2 ]. In this context, bituminous membranes are widely used in many countries as a waterproofing layer to create a barrier to water and humidity for the protection of roofs, terraces, retaining walls, and any other kind of civil and industrial surfaces [ 3 ].…”

In this work, innovative graphene oxide–doped waterproofing bituminous membranes, also called roof bituminous membranes, were prepared and characterized in terms of physicochemical and vapor transport properties. The results showed that the introduction of a small amount of GO increased the mechanical resistance of the doped membranes compared to the native one. Moreover, the addition of the GO leads to a remarkable chemical stability of the membranes when exposed to UV radiation and high temperatures. Furthermore, a decrease in water vapor permeation was observed when GO was present in the membrane matrix compared to native bituminous membranes, demonstrating that an addition of GO can boost the waterproofing properties of these bituminous membranes.
