Silicate materials with enhanced electrical conductivity

This bachelor thesis deals with electrical properties of cement- or aluminosilicate-based materials used in building industry. It presents the summary of the most commonly used functional fillers with ability to increase conduction of the composites and theirs characteristics. Thesis also deals with measured electrical properties and applications of composites with enhanced electrical conductivity. In the experimental part, the influence of graphite powder concentration on the characteristics of alkali activated slag was examined. Electrical, mechanical properties and microstructure was observed. Microstructure was examined by means of mercury porosimetry and scanning elektron microscopy
