A Review on Nano Calcium Carbonate Modified Cementitious Composites

Abstract

Numerous studies have indicated that nano calcium carbonate (NCC) has the potential to enhance the mechanics, durability, and functionality of cementitious composites, thus developing high performance, durable, multifunctional, and low carbon cementitious composites. This paper reviews the recent progress in NCC modified cementitious composites and provides a comprehensiveness overview of the impact of NCC on the performances of cementitious composites, which includes the fabrication (materials, preparation methods, and curing methods), structures (hydration products and microstructures), and properties (hydration, workability, mechanical properties, durability, and functionality). Moreover, the mechanisms and the challenges as well as future directions of NCC modified cementitious composites are also explored and prospected.
