Nano-magnesium oxide (MgO) can be used as an expansion agent for cement-based materials, but little is known about the influence of nano-magnesium oxide on the mechanics, microstructure and expansion stability of cement materials. The influence of nano-magnesium oxide on the consistency, fluidity, porosity, dry and wet densities, mechanical properties and microstructures of cement-based materials was researched in this study. The results show that the compressive strength and flexural strength of the cement mortar test block containing nano-mag...
