Investigation of the yttrium oxide Nanoparticles effect on the mortar Compressive strength

In this work, yttrium oxide Nanoparticles with different weight percentages were added to cement mortar. The ۷-day and ۲۸-day compressive strength of mortar was obtained based on the ASTM C۱۰۹ standard and compared with the control sample results. The results showed that the mortar containing yttrium oxide Nanoparticles has a higher compressive strength compared to the control sample. It was also found that with increasing the amount of Y۲O۳ Nanoparticles, the compressive strength increases
