Abstract- In this work we discus about Sol-Gel Chemistry Based Nanocomposites method and preparation of nano particles for addition <strong>in</strong>to<br />

the Portland cement. Then the <strong>in</strong>fluence of nano particles on several Portland cements is <strong>in</strong>vestigated. Addition of nano particles to Portland<br />

cement can improve its physical properties such as compressive strength and p ermeability coefficient.<br />

Portland cement is usually a mixture of limestone (calcium<br />

carbonate, CaCO 3 ) and a second material as a source of<br />

alu m<strong>in</strong>o-silicate. The pr<strong>in</strong>cipal cl<strong>in</strong>ker m<strong>in</strong>erals of the<br />

Portland cement are Tri-calciu m silicate, C3S (A lite),<br />

Calciu m silicate, b-C2S (Belite), Tri-calciu m alu m<strong>in</strong>ate,<br />

C3A, and Ferrite phase; Tetra-calcium alum<strong>in</strong>o ferrite,<br />

C4AF (Celite). In recent years, the use of nano-particles has<br />

received particular attention <strong>in</strong> many applications to fabricate<br />

materials with new functionalities. When ultra-f<strong>in</strong>e particles<br />

are <strong>in</strong>corporated <strong>in</strong>to Portland-cement paste, mortar or<br />

concrete, materials with different characteristics from the<br />

conventional materials were obta<strong>in</strong>ed. Nano particles<br />

enhanced the compressive strength of cement paste much<br />

more than silica fu me. It is due to the fill<strong>in</strong>g effect and<br />

pozzolanic reaction activation. It was concluded that the rate<br />

of pozzolanic reaction depends on the Bla<strong>in</strong>e surface area<br />

available for react ion. Nano alum<strong>in</strong>ate and silicate have been<br />

<strong>in</strong>tegrated with cement mortar as a new build<strong>in</strong>g material For<br />

and durability of the material. In this work we discus about<br />

Sol-Gel Chemistry Based Nanocomposites method and<br />

preparation of nano particles for addition <strong>in</strong>to the Portland<br />

cement. Then the <strong>in</strong>fluence of nano particles on several<br />

Portland cements is <strong>in</strong>vestigated. Addition of nano particles<br />

to Portland cement can improve its physical properties such<br />

as compressive strength and permeability coefficient. - In<br />

Nanocomposites method and preparation of nano particles<br />

<strong>in</strong>stance Nanoparticles of SiO 2 (NS) can fill the spaces<br />

between particles of gel of C–S–H, act<strong>in</strong>g as a nano-filler.<br />

Furthermore, by the pozzolanic reaction with calcium<br />

hydroxide, the amount of C–S–H <strong>in</strong>creases which results <strong>in</strong> a<br />

higher densification of the matrix that improves the strength<br />
