New insights into graphene oxide’s strengthening effects in concrete could accelerate commercial development

The nanomaterial graphene oxide (GO) has been investigated as a way to improve concrete strength, but reported results of GO’s effects have been inconsistent and detailed understanding of the mechanisms of its strength-enhancing effects has been elusive. New studies by a multidisciplinary team led by scientists at the University of California at Los Angeles have revealed new insight on these mechanisms and illuminated a path toward more effectively applying GO in commercial concrete.
