The Construction ceramics modified by Dispersions of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

The way of improvement of mechanical characteristic of construction ceramics by introduction of structure molding compound of Dispersions of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) is offered. This compounding material allows regulating structure formation of a ceramic matrix, thereby changing toughness index of ceramic samples. It is shown that introduction of MWCNTs exerts influence on structure of ceramic at the stage of green brick which further formation depends on burning temperature. According to test date at burning temperature of 1000 C the homogeneous mix with the lowered content of pores is formed, the number of the pores interconnected is reduced. Use of molding compound of dispersions of MWCNTs in number 0,001 % of clay mass allows improving physicomechanical index of the modified ceramics to 30 % in comparison with check samples.
