GREEN HIGH STRENGTH CEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17972053 titled 'GREEN HIGH STRENGTH CEMENT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for creating carbon nanotube-reinforced cementitious materials by capturing carbon dioxide during the production of cement, converting it to hydrocarbons, and using these to produce carbon nanotubes that are then incorporated into the cementitious materials.
- Carbon dioxide is captured during cement production.
- The captured carbon dioxide is converted into hydrocarbons.
- Carbon nanotubes are produced from these hydrocarbons on the cementitious materials.
- The resulting materials are reinforced with carbon nanotubes.
Key Features and Innovation

Original Abstract Submitted
A system and a method for generating carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced cementitious materials are provided. An exemplary method includes capturing carbon dioxide formed in while calcining cementitious precursors, converting the carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons, producing CNTs on the calcined cementitious precursors from the hydrocarbons, and forming CNT-reinforced, cementitious materials from the calcined cementitious precursors comprising the CNTs.
