ABSTRACT
Gypsum plasters are related to the use of new additives that allow
changing the setting time and the water content of the mixture and
also the possibility of applying different aggregates in the mortars,
that improve their properties. The objectives on which we have
focused in this study, is one of those mechanical properties, the
compressive strength, of the mixture of gypsum with graphene, in
different proportions, performing the tests by standard methods.
Significant results have been obtained comparing the properties
of compressive strength of the gypsum plaster without addition,
with the results obtained for the gypsum plasters with graphene,
in different proportions. Graphene gives a 12% increase in compressive strength.
