- Abstract
Geopolymers, recognized as an ecological alternative to cement concrete, are gaining more and more interest from researchers and the construction industry. Due to the registrable electrical conductivity, this material also attracts the interest of other fields of science and industry as a potential functional material. The article discusses the used geopolymer material, created on the basis of metakaolin and waste Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) glass, reinforced with ultra-long in-house carbon nanotubes (CNT), in the context of its use as a smart material for Structural Health Monitoring. Long in-house made carbon nanotubes were added to enhance the electrical conductivity of the geopolymer. The impedance spectroscopy method was applied to investigate the conductive properties of this material. The paper shows the microscopic and mechanical characteristics of the materials and presents the results of promising impedance spectroscopy tests.
