Study of the influence of nano-TiO2 on the properties of Portland cement concrete for application on road surfaces
Abstract
This paper reports the results obtained in a study on the effect of the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles on the mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of photocatalytic concretes. Concretes were produced with three types of TiO2: anatase I (10–30 nm), anatase II (50–80 nm) and rutile (10 × 40 nm), with contents of 3%, 6% and 10% in relation to the mass of Portland cement. Besides these mixtures, a reference concrete was prepared without the addition of TiO2. In the hardened state, tests to determine the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity were carried out. Also, microstructural aspects of the samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry. In the fresh state, the influence of the addition of TiO2 on the concrete compaction and conduction calorimetry curves was evaluated. The results obtained indicated that, with the addition of TiO2, there was an increase in the compressive strength at 28 days and a reduction in the modulus of elasticity of the concretes. The calorimetry results indicated greater formation of C–S–H (calcium silicate hydrate)-type structures in the photocatalytic concretes. The porosimetry and SEM results showed a better distribution and refinement of the pores in these concretes.

In the citing paper
“The increase in compressive strength with 2.5% of nps-TiO2 is attributed to nps-TiO2’s non-reactive fine filler properties, which reduced porosity, lacked pozzolanic activity, and played a significant role in ensuring cement matrix homogeneity [22,37,38,39,40,41].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
