چکیده مقاله :
In this work, to investigate the effect of reduced Graphene Oxide nanoparticles on the strength of concrete and the corrosion resistance of rebar inside it, Graphene Oxide nanoparticles were added to the mortar with different weight percentages of cement. The strength of concrete was evaluated by measuring the compressive strength of 7 days and 28 days and comparing with the results of the control sample. To investigate the effect of reduced Graphene Oxide nanoparticles on the corrosion resistance of rebar inside it, polarization and EIS tests were performed in a 3.5% salt solution. The results showed that the addition of reduced Graphene Oxide nanoparticles increases the compressive strength and electrical impedance of the concrete. It was also found that there is an optimal value that the addition of Graphene Oxide nanoparticles more than that value causes a relative decrease in concrete strength and electrical impedance. Finally, by simulating the equivalent circuit, the reason for the decrease in impedance and as a result the corrosion resistance by adding more than the optimal value was investigated.
