Analysis of the Resistance to Bending of Gypsum with Added Graphene

Abstract

Gypsum-based interior coatings are used due to their excellent fire resistance and thermal and acoustic properties. In recent decades, the development of these calcium sulfate-based coatings has been linked with the use of new additives that allow the setting times and the water content of the mix to be controlled and offer the possibility of adding different aggregates to the mortar, which further improve its resistance properties. In this article, significant results are presented that compare the flexural strength of mortars formed using added construction plaster with different percentages of graphene powder.
