The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Reinforcing effects of graphene oxide on portland cement paste (2015, background): “In addition to the enhanced mechanical properties, CNTs have been found to accelerate the hydration process (Makar and Chan 2009) and to reduce the porosity of the cement paste (Li et al. 2005).”
Foam Concrete: A State-of-the-Art and State-of-the-Practice Review (2020, background): “Meanwhile, a higher amount of C-S-H in hydration of concrete is observed because carbon nanotubes play a role in the formation of C-S-H phases [190].”
Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposite Cement Incorporating Surface-Treated and Untreated Carbon Nanotubes and Carbon Nanofibers (2012, background): “However, research focused on their incorporation in cementitious materials has been limited (Cwirzen et al. 2008a, b; Li et al. 2005; Li et al. 2007; Li et al. 2008a, b; Makar and Beaudoin 2003; Makar et al. 2005; Musso et al. 2009; Nasibulin et al. 2009; Wansom et al. 2006).”
Nanoscale characterization of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) (2011, methodology): “In addition to carbon black and carbon nanotubes [11,12] being used to alter electrical properties, nanoclays have been used in ordinary cement to tailor porosity [2], and titanium dioxide has been used to tailor photocatalytic properties [13].”
