摘要
The results of a study on the homogeneity of suspensions are described considering the effect of different types of surfactant stabilizers and their concentrations on the uniform distribution of a carbon nanotubes（CNTs）-based modifying additive to construction materials in an aqueous medium. This problem was solved herein by using surfactants and ultrasound. The sonication treatment of CNTs particle agglomerates allowed for dispersing their globules and achieving a 15-20-fold decrease in their average size, for which it became possible to make better use of the CNTs as cement modifier. As a result of the experimental studies carried out, the effect of the surfactant type and concentration promoting uniform distribution of the CNTs in the bulk of the suspension and, correspondingly, in the structural composite matrix was revealed. The CNTs-based additive improved the physical-mechanical and operational characteristics of the material.
