A concrete product set by pouring a concrete slurry includes a) a concrete mixture; b) a graphene oxide admixture; and c) at least one reinforcing fiber selected from the group of fibers. As the poured concrete slurry cures, the poured slurry hardens into a composite material product, and the composite material is embedded with graphene oxide. In another exemplary embodiment, the present invention is directed to a process for preparing a concrete product. The process comprises the steps of a) preparing a concrete slurry with integral graphene oxide; b) pouring the concrete slurry; c) allowing the concrete slurry to cure; and d) optionally spray-applying graphene oxide and/or optional colloidal silica as a curing technique. In another exemplary embodiment, the present invention is directed to the product itself; namely, a concrete product with fibers and embedded graphene oxide flakes.
A concrete product set by pouring a concrete slurry, the poured concrete slurry comprising:
A process for preparing a concrete product, the process comprising:
A concrete product set from a poured concrete slurry, the poured concrete slurry comprising a concrete mixture, graphene oxide flake admixture, and at least one fiber selected from the group of fibers consisting of steel fibers, helix fibers, basalt fibers, PVA fibers, carbon fibers, and synthetic fibers, the concrete product comprising capillary structures that are at least in part embedded with and filled with graphene oxide flakes, the embedded graphene oxide flakes being graphene oxide monolayers or overlapping graphene oxide layers, whereby the embedded graphene oxide monolayers or overlapping graphene oxide layers at least in part distribute the load acting on the concrete product.
