Abstract
The development of cement mixtures to enhance the quality of construction is a major focus in the field of building materials research. Based on an analysis of existing literature, the use of carbon-based additives to improve the properties of cement pastes is contradictory and strongly depends on the availability of the additive and the technical specification. Moreover, the mechanism of interaction of a carbon modifier with binding materials is described. The mineral and phase composition of the standard grouting Portland cement used is presented. The article considers the effect of a fullerene soot additive on the structural and rheological properties of cement paste. The X-ray phase content of the modified cements revealed the absence of chemical interaction of the carbon additive with the cement hydration products. The analysis of the physical and mechanical tests showed an increase in the strength of the cement stone during curing at normal and moderate temperatures. Computed tomography was used to calculate the parameters of the pore volume and porosity of the samples. As a result, the optimal concentration of fullerene additives was established to enhance the characteristics of the cement composition. The presented study proposes one of the possible solutios to the challenge of developing a grouting material that enhances the tightness and longevity of wells.
