Claims13
A reinforced concrete, characterized by comprising:
- a cement and a dispersion including water, a surfactant, multilayer carbon nanotubes wherein the carbon atoms in their external walls are substituted by atoms of at least one other element and multilayer carbon nanotubes including chemical groups on their surface.
A method for reinforcing concrete, comprising the steps of:
- forming a dispersion of surfactant, multilayer carbon nanotubes wherein carbon atoms in their external walls are substituted by atoms of at least one other element and multilayer carbon nanotubes having chemical groups on their surface;
- and
- mixing the dispersion with cement to form a reinforced concrete.
