摘要: 系统研究了少层石墨烯(FLG)对水泥净浆流动性能和力学性能(抗压强度和抗折强度)的影响,通过SEM、XRD、EDS剖析了FLG对净浆力学性能影响的作用机制。同时利用AFM、Raman、SEM等技术表征了FLG的层数和结构。结果表明:FLG的层数在3~6层,呈现六角型蜂窝结构,有层间堆叠现象。FLG的掺入能降低净浆的流动性,净浆3 天和28 天抗压强度分别提升了27.84%和13.52%,3 天和28天抗折强度分别提升了12.92%和19.68%。FLG具有模板效应,能够促进水泥水化产物的生长,改变水化晶体的形状、尺寸,使其有形成完整、致密的趋势,使净浆结构更加密实。Abstract: The effects of few-layer graphene (FLG) on the fluidity and mechanical properties (compressive strength and flexural strength) of cement paste were systematically studied. The mechanism of the effect of FLG on the mechanical properties of cement paste was analyzed by SEM, XRD and EDS. Meanwhile, the layers and structures of FLG were characterized by AFM, Raman and SEM techniques. The results show that the number of FLG layers is 3-6, showing a hexagonal honeycomb structure with interlayer stacking. The incorporation of FLG can reduce the fluidity of the paste. The 3 days and 28 days compressive strength values of the paste increase by 27.84% and 13.52%, respectively, and the 3 days and 28 days flexural strength values increase by 12.92% and 19.68%, respectively. The template effect of FLG can promote the growth of cement hydration products, change the shape and size of hydration crystals, and make it form a complete and dense trend, and make the paste structure more dense.
