Abstract

To unlock the efficiency of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) in potential applications, it is necessary to take into consideration their distribution in cement-based materials. In this work, it is observed that the relationship between flexural strength and electrochemical impedance properties such as capacitance and resistivity may provide valuable information on the actual CNF dispersion state in the matrix and a method to optimize flexural strength in reinforced mortars.
