Simplified summary of the frequent effect of GNPs on some properties of the cement mixtures
| Property | GNPs |
|---|---|
| Electrical conductivity | Increase |
| Fluidity/workability | Decrease |
| Setting times | No information |
| Rate of hydration | Minimal effect |
| Porosity | Decrease |
| Compressive strength | Increase |
| Tensile & flexural strength | Increase |
| Crack propagation arrest | Increase |
| Chloride attack resistance | Increase |
| Water penetration depth | Decrease but dependent on porosity |
