Abstract
This thesis explores a sustainable, microwave-assisted pyrolysis method to synthesis graphene oxide (GO) from waste tyres, enhancing cement mortar properties. Tyre char-based GO (TC-GO) increases mortar strength, with 0.03% TC-GO improving compressive and flexural strength by 15%. Finding support for sustainable practices by reducing cement use, and minimising environmental impact.
