This research aims to investigate the influence of the nano-reinforcement on the thermal properties of cement mortar.
Nano-modified cement mortar with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) leading to the development of innovative materials
possessing multi-functionality and smartness. Such multifunctional properties include enhanced mechanical behavior,
electrical and thermal conductivity, and piezo-electric characteristics. The assessment of the thermal behavior was
evaluated using IR Thermography. Two different thermographic techniques are used to monitor the influence of the
nano-reinforcement. To eliminate any extrinsic effects (e.g. humidity) the specimens were dried in an oven before
testing. The electrical resistivity was measured with a contact test method using a custom made apparatus and applying a
known D.C. voltage. This study indicate that the CNTs nano-reinforcement enhance the thermal and electrical properties
and demonstrate them useful as sensors in a wide variety of applications.
