Carbon admixtures influence on the electrical properties of slag mortars focusing on alternating conductivity and permittivity

Abstract

New materials based on alkali-activated slag mortars may be an important contribution of applied research, which strives to offer the use of waste materials as a full replacement for the currently used binders and explores the impact of forms of carbon incorporation on the physical and mechanical properties. The unique Vector analyzer RaS ZNC with a coaxial probe DAK-12 from Speag was used to determine permittivity and loss factor, electrical resistance was measured using two channel oscilloscope.New materials based on alkali-activated slag mortars may be an important contribution of applied research, which strives to offer the use of waste materials as a full replacement for the currently used binders and explores the impact of forms of carbon incorporation on the physical and mechanical properties.
