The effect of nanosilica addition on flowability, strength and transport properties of ultra high performance concrete (2014, background): “This behavior confirms the fact that the most part of the pozzolanic reactivity of nS in cement paste is completed at early ages [33,43–44].”
A review on the properties, reinforcing effects, and commercialization of nanomaterials for cement-based materials (2020, background): “[138] found that at 7 d and 28 d, the compressive strength of incorporating nano-SiO2 concrete improved by 23–38% and 7–14%, respectively, and the flexural strength improved by 7–10% and 3–11% as well.”
Use of nano-silica in cement based materials—A review (2015, background): “Also, decrease in initial and final setting time was observed on incorporation of nS in various quantities, with increase in viscosity and yield stress reported (Pourjavadi et al., 2012).”
