ABSTRACT
Graphene Oxide (GO) has emerged as a promising nano-additive for enhancing the properties of cement-based materials. In this paper, five plastering mortar formulations with varying GO dosages (0‰, 2‰, 4‰, 6‰, and 8‰ by potland cement) were prepared to investigate the effects of GO on mechanical performance, durability, and microstructural evolution. The results indicate that, although GO contributes only a limited improvement to compressive strength, it significantly enhances bond strength by up to 200% under diverse curing conditions. Moderate GO dosages (e.g., 4‰) also improve water retention and abrasion resistance, while higher dosages disrupt the internal microstructure, leading to reduced performance. GO incorporation increases the proportion of ≤30 nm pores and improves thermal stability. Additionally, a preferential formation of calcium silicate hydrate at the expense of calcium hydroxide, yielding a denser microstructure. These findings highlight the importance of dosage optimization in leveraging GO’s potential to enhance key performance attributes of plastering mortars, providing insights for the development of high-performance cementitious coatings in construction applications.
