Controlling CNT dispersion has been the key challenge for CNT nanocomposites. This study investigated the dispersion, mechanical and piezoresistive properties of CNT reinforced cementitious composites using carbox-ymethyl cellulose (CMC) treatment by comparing with three other existing mixing methods, including direct mixing, surface treatments using octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) modified tapioca starch as a polymeric ad-ditive, and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (NaDDBS) as a surfactant. The experimental results first indicated that the CMC treatment was categorized as a noncovalent functionalization and showed effectiveness in improving CNT dispersion, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, Poisson ratio, and piezoresistive sensi-tivity of CNT reinforced cementitious composites.
