Description
Summary:In recent years, due to the increase of nanotechnology and the demand for innovations in cementitious materials, there has been a significant interest in research in the application of nanosilica (NS) as supplementary nano cementitious material (SNCM). The incorporation of NS in cementitious materials aims to improve its performance in specific applications, such as for high strength and durability in the concretes. Recent developments in the synthesis of the monodisperse and small size distribution of nanoparticles by functionalization methods provide a significant boost to the development of nanosilica composites with functional group grafts, called functionalized nanosilica (FNS). This review article intends to standardize the bibliographic review of FNS synthesis methods and the ways to characterize them.
