Composite of Carbon Nanofibers and Concrete – "Smart Concrete"

2005-05-30 00:00:00

    Zhong Duanling (Deborah D.), a world-class expert on nanomaterials, came to China to participate in the academic exchange of "Science and Technology Week". L. Chuang has extended the improvement of building materials to intelligence.

    Zhong Duanling said that she added carbon nanofibers with good conductivity to concrete, and made a surprising discovery: the complex of carbon nanofibers with good conductivity and concrete began to be "full of wisdom"!

    The principle is that when the stress on the composite changes, its conductivity will react regularly. That is to say, the change law of stress on concrete can be obtained by analyzing the change law of conductivity.

    Zhong Duanling said that the results of the ongoing intermediate test to simulate road conditions show that when the load on the road surface changes, the contact effect between carbon nanofibers and the surrounding matrix will also be affected, resulting in a slight change in the conductivity of composite materials. As a result, a series of important data such as weight, temperature, vibration, vehicle speed, personnel flow and damage degree are obtained.

    Zhong Duanling said that the application of "intelligent concrete" is far from being limited to roads. It can be used as a structural material and widely used in highways, bridges, reservoirs, dams, buildings, residential buildings and security facilities. At the same time, it can be used as a new and multi-functional material for automatic monitoring systems such as anti-theft, seismic control, energy saving, traffic control and dynamic vehicle weight testing.

Hunan Jinlei Southern Cement Co., Ltd. was established in December 2001, formerly known as Chenzhou Dongjiang Jinlei Cement Co., Ltd., and joined the Southern Cement System under China Building Materials in 2008, mainly engaged in cement manufacturing, sales and limestone mining for cement. The company has two 2500 tons/day new dry process clinker production lines, which were put into operation in 2004 and 2006 respectively. According to the list of production lines published by the Hunan Provincial Office of Industry and Information Technology, both production lines have been announced in December 2019.
