Abstract
The construction industry is constantly in pursuit of innovative materials and methods to boost the performance and sustainability of concrete. This thesis examines the impact of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) on the fresh, static, and dynamic properties of cement paste, positioning GNPs as a potential groundbreaking material. Systematic experiments were conducted to evaluate various concentrations of GNPs and their combinations with polycarboxylate ether (PCE SP) surfactant, analyzing their effects on workability, setting time, and mechanical strength. The research methodology was robust, integrating experimental design, comprehensive data analysis, and a thorough review of the relevant literature.
