Building products comprising graphene or graphene oxide in the bulk material and method for producing such building products
The invention relates to building products that contain graphene and/or graphene oxide in the bulk component thereof. The addition of graphene and/or graphene oxide improves the mechanical properties of said building products, particularly in terms of strength.
1. Building products, wherein the building products contain graphene and/or graphene oxide produced by shearing graphite powder and adding a tenside.
2. Building product according to claim 1 , wherein the building product is a building panel, a partition wall brick, a screed, a plaster or a putty.
3. Building product according to claim 2 , wherein the building product contains graphene and/or graphene oxide shavings or flakes.
4. Building product according to claim 3 , wherein the graphene and/or the graphene oxide is distributed homogeneously in the building product.
5. Building product according to claim 4 , wherein only a part of the building product contains graphene and/or graphene oxide.
6. Building product according to claim 5 , wherein the building product is a building panel.
7. Building panel according to claim 6 , wherein the building panel consists of at least one core layer and at least one outer layer, wherein at least either the core layer or the outer layer contains graphene and/or graphene oxide shavings or flakes.
8. Building product according to claim 7 , wherein the building product comprises a binder that contains cement.
9. Method for producing a building product containing graphene and/or graphene oxide, comprising mixing graphene and/or graphene oxide, particularly in the form of shavings or flakes, with a cement-based binder and water, shaping the mixture and drying the building product that is shaped in this way, wherein the graphene and/or graphene oxide is used in the form of a suspension, particularly a suspension in water, and wherein the suspension is produced by shearing graphite powder and adding a tenside.
10. Method according to claim 9 , wherein a shear rate greater than 10 4 s −1 is used to produce the suspension.
11. Use of graphene and/or graphene oxide in building products to improve their mechanical strength or increase the fire protection class of the building products, wherein the building products are building products that contain cement wherein the graphene and/or graphene oxide is used in the form of a suspension and wherein the suspension is produced by shearing graphite powder and adding a tenside.
12. Use according to claim 11 , wherein the building products include building panels, partition wall bricks, screeds, plasters and putties.
