DISCUSSIONS &
CONCLUSIONS
Nano-Additions never resulted in any
appreciable change in PHYSICAL
CHARACTERISTICS of Cement 
COLOUR,SHAPE,SIZE,WEIGHT,DENSITY
Nano-Additions in PCE for
CNT/TiO2 REDUCED THE SETTING
TIME[From 3 Days to 1.5 Day]
OPTIMIZATIONS for Nano
Materials in Ordinary Cement
Mortar -nS, CNT & TiO2 are
0.75%,0.02% & 1% w.r.to Cement
weight at 28 Days
 Results indicate that for OPC,
slight increase of Ns/CNT dose
from the optimized one gives an
overall increase in strength in
Long Term
For PPC & PSC optimizations are
0.75% nS & 0.5% nS which remains
fixed for both Short & Long Terms
Further research on MICRO
STRUCTURAL studies are necessary
for Characterization of Nano
Materials -XRD,SEM-EDS,TEM,AFM
in Cement Concrete

  • 15. DISCUSSIONS & CONCLUSIONS Nano-Additions never resulted in any appreciable change in PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS of Cement COLOUR,SHAPE,SIZE,WEIGHT,DENSITY Nano-Additions in PCE for CNT/TiO2 REDUCED THE SETTING TIME[From 3 Days to 1.5 Day] OPTIMIZATIONS for Nano Materials in Ordinary Cement Mortar -nS, CNT & TiO2 are 0.75%,0.02% & 1% w.r.to Cement weight at 28 Days Results indicate that for OPC, slight increase of Ns/CNT dose from the optimized one gives an overall increase in strength in Long Term For PPC & PSC optimizations are 0.75% nS & 0.5% nS which remains fixed for both Short & Long Terms Further research on MICRO STRUCTURAL studies are necessary for Characterization of Nano Materials -XRD,SEM-EDS,TEM,AFM in Cement Concrete
