A review of dispersion of nanoparticles in cementitious matrices: Nanoparticle geometry perspective (2017, methodology): “Mechanical methods, including high shear mixing [17], mechanical stirring [18, 19], ultrasonication [5, 6, 19, 20], and ball milling [5], have been widely used in order to carry out and facilitate the dispersion of nanoparticles through aqueous solutions and composite mixtures.”
Effect of using different types of nano materials on mechanical properties of high strength concrete (2015, background): “The increase can be due to the fact that calcium hydroxide compounds existing in lime solution react with nanoparticles in their surface areas to form additional C–S–H gel thereby increasing compressive strength [12].”
Characteristics of nanoclay and calcined nanoclay-cement nanocomposites (2015, background): “This may be attributed to agglomerations of CNC at high contents which lead to relatively poor dispersion of CNC and hence relatively poor pozzolanic reaction [2, 30].”
