This study deals with the dispersion of the carbon-based materials and investigating the self-sensing response by using conductive fillers. To do this, carbon black (CB) and carbon fibers (CF) were used cement mortars to evaluate the piezo-resistivity response. Dispersion of the conductive fillers was achieved by using sodium hydroxide as surfactant. Reference specimens were produced and comparison was made with the specimens doped with CB and CF. Experimental work reveals that CB and CF enabled superior relative change in electrical resistivity of composites. However, CF was more promising than CB in terms of achieving higher piezo-resistivity. In addition to non-structural functionalities, mechanical properties of developed mixtures were also evaluated. The use of CF provided higher flexural strength compared to reference and CB-bearing specimens. On the other hand, carbon-based materials made a negligible contribution to the compressive strength of the cement-based mortars.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarbon BlackCarbon FiberCement MortarsSelf-SensingConference Object
