Abstract

At present, the focus of current research lies predominantly in unraveling the fundamental science of cementitious materials at the nano and atomic levels. Simultaneously, researchers are working diligently to enhance the durability and sustainability of concrete, leading to a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of cementitious materials through the incorporation of nano-silica. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the influence of nano-silica addition on the mechanical, durability and microstructural characteristics of paste, mortar and concrete. It also offers insight into the current developments in the application of nano-silica in these materials. Lastly, the paper discusses the potential future trends and implications of using nano-silica in cement-based materials.
