Abstract

Abstract : The effects of temperature and water content on the electrical conductivity of cement mortar with different sizes of carbon nanotubes were studied, and the effect of the size of carbon nanotubes on the electrical conductivity of cement mortar was revealed. The results show that the small diameter carbon nanotubes have the best enhancement effect on the electrical conductivity of cement mortar. The electrical conductivity of cement mortar with different diameters of carbon nanotubes is positively correlated with water content, and with the decrease of the diameter of carbon nanotubes in the sample, the effect of water content on the electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube cement mortar becomes smaller and smaller. With the increase of temperature, the electrical conductivity of cement mortar containing carbon nanotubes of different diameters increases in varying degrees, but the increase of samples with small diameter carbon nanotubes is the smallest, indicating that the electrical conductivity of cement mortars with small diameter carbon nanotubes is less affected by temperature.
