Abstract

Disclosed is a system or method for efficiently manufacturing construction materials using carbon nanomaterials. In one or more embodiments, the method comprises creating a blend of carbon nanomaterials, wherein the blend of the carbon nanomaterials includes at least one of a carbon nanofiber, a carbon nanotube, a graphite nanoparticle and an amorphous carbon. The method also includes dispersing the carbon nanomaterials and adding a plasticizer and a sand to the dispersed mixture within 3 minutes. The method also includes adding at least one of water and a cement binding agent to the dispersed mixture after the plasticizer and the sand have been added.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
creating a 0.0125% to 1% by mass percentage blend of carbon nanomaterials, wherein the blend of carbon nanomaterials includes carbon nanotubes;
dispersing the blend of carbon nanomaterials to form a dispersed mixture;
adding 0.05-1% by mass percentage of a plasticizer and 5-50% by mass percentage of sand to the dispersed mixture within 3 minutes; and
adding 15-55% by mass percentage of a cement binding agent and a remaining mass percentage of water to the dispersed mixture after the addition of the plasticizer and the sand.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising obtaining the blend of carbon nanomaterials through:
detecting presence of an untreated gas mixture when the untreated gas mixture is fed in a quartz tube through a gas supply;
treating the untreated gas mixture with high-voltage discharge plasma in a zone between a cathode and an anode to create a treated gas mixture;
releasing the treated gas mixture in a deposition chamber through an opening of the anode; and
collecting a deposited carbon nanomaterial used in the blend of carbon nanomaterials automatically with a plurality of cleaner blades.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a mass percentage of the carbon nanotubes in the blend of carbon nanomaterials ranges from 20-30%.

4. A method comprising:
creating a 0.0125% to 1% by mass percentage blend of carbon nanomaterials through treating an untreated gas mixture with high-voltage discharge plasma in a zone between a cathode and an anode to create a treated gas mixture, releasing the treated gas mixture in a deposition chamber through an opening of the anode and collecting a deposited carbon nanomaterial;
dispersing the blend of carbon nanomaterials to form a dispersed mixture;
adding 0.05-1% by mass percentage of a plasticizer and 5-50% by mass percentage of sand to the dispersed mixture within 3 minutes; and
adding 15-55% by mass percentage of a cement binding agent and a remaining mass percentage of water to the dispersed mixture after the addition of the plasticizer and the sand.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein a mass percentage of the carbon nanotubes in the blend of carbon nanomaterials ranges from 20-30%.
