Abstract
A reinforced concrete material is described comprising a cementitious material (22) in which graphene is substantially uniformly distributed. A method of production of concrete is also described comprising the steps of forming a substantially uniform suspension (20) of graphene with water, and mixing the suspension (20) with a cementitious material (22) to form a concrete material (28).
Claims13
A reinforced concrete material comprising a cementitious material in which graphene is substantially uniformly distributed, wherein the graphene is in the form of flakes of lateral dimension of less than 5 μm, the graphene is not graphene oxide, and wherein the graphene is dispersed or suspended within water prior to the formation of the concrete material, and wherein the concentration of graphene within the water is in the range of 0.2-2.5 g/L.
