Nova Graphene Partners in Study Enhancing Cement Composites with Mechanochemically Enhanced Graphene

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia - Aug. 28, 2024 - PRLog -- Nova Graphene, a leader in advanced materials, proudly announces its role in a groundbreaking study published in the Journal of Building Engineering. The study, titled "Effect of Mechanochemistry on Graphene Dispersion and its Application in Improving the Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites," showcases significant advancements in the use of graphene to enhance cement-based materials.

The research, conducted by scientists from the University of South Australia and Wuhan University, utilized Nova Graphene's proprietary CarbonEra Black. The study revealed that mechanochemical techniques, combined with ultrasonic treatments, greatly improved graphene dispersion in cement, leading to enhanced mechanical properties.

Key Findings:

- Improved Dispersion: Mechanochemical methods significantly boost graphene's dispersion within cementitious materials, enhancing their overall performance.

- Enhanced Mechanical Properties: Graphene integration resulted in notable increases in tensile and compressive strength, and ultimate tensile strain, making the material more durable.

- Industrial Applications: The findings support the use of graphene-enhanced composites in construction, offering sustainable solutions with superior mechanical properties and longevity.

"This study confirms the immense potential of graphene in revolutionizing construction materials," said Paul Beasant, CEO of Nova Graphene. The full paper is available in the Journal of Building Engineering
