Abstract:

In this study, the authors tested transport properties of mortar samples treated by graphene oxide (GO) modified sealers. Two ways of GO modification were implemented on a commercial concrete sealer. Both of them improved performance of the selected sealer. Moreover, water contact angle and porosity of treated mortar samples were tested. A strong linear relationship between water absorption rate and surface free energy was established. Also, the authors found a linear relationship between gas permeability coefficient and porosity. The results in this research suggested that GO modified concrete sealer has the potential to improve the durability of concrete. Future work may focus on mechanistic investigation of GO modification and laboratory evaluation of practical performance of GO modified sealer.
