Characteristics of nanoclay and calcined nanoclay-cement nanocomposites (2015, background): “[20] reported that incorporation of 3% halloysite nanoclay into cement mortars increased the 28 th day compressive strength up to 24% compared to the control samples.”
Waste glass in the production of cement and concrete – A review (2014, background): “Different waste materials have been used in the production of cement and concrete such as: blast furnace slag [30], clay [31], cathode ray tube waste [32], fly ash [33] and waste glass [34].”
A review of dispersion of nanoparticles in cementitious matrices: Nanoparticle geometry perspective (2017, methodology): “It has been suggested that the optimum percentage for halloysites should be less than 10%, closer to 5.5% of the cement weight when used with surfactants and mixer [143] and 3% of the cement weight when used with dry mixing [141].”
