Composite of Carbon Nanofibers and Concrete – "Smart Concrete"

    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.

The statistical data of cement output in all parts of the country from January to March 2026 show that the cumulative output of cement in the country has a certain scale. From the year-on-year data, the situation varies from place to place. The output in most regions showed a trend of year-on-year decline, among which the decline in Liaoning, Shaanxi, Fujian and other places was more obvious, for example, the year-on-year decline in Liaoning was larger; while the output in Beijing, Guizhou, Hunan and other places increased year-on-year, and the year-on-year increase in Beijing was relatively prominent. The smaller year-on-year change in production was in Zhejiang, which decreased by only 0.03%. The overall output of the whole country decreased by 7.10% year on year.
