  • Abstract:
  • Nanoscience and nanotechnology are at the forefront of fields that drive modern innovation and foster new scientific advancements. This study explores the influence of nano-silica (NS) with an approximate particle size of 40 nm on the properties of cement mortar, aiming to enhance its mechanical characteristics and durability. Various NS percentages (0.5% to 2.5%) were integrated into the mortar, and their effects were evaluated through compressive strength tests at 7 and 28 days, along with steel corrosion and hardness tests. Characterization of NS was conducted using FTIR, XRD, and SEM techniques. Results indicated that up to 2% NS additions significantly enhance mortar strength, durability, and microstructure, outperforming traditional mortar mixes. These findings suggest the potential for producing crack-resistant concrete for sustainable construction.
