This study utilizes nanofilament-based nanotechnology, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), to improve the mechanical characteristics of concrete as a building material. One of the important and effective factors in adding carbon nanotubes to cement composites is their proper dispersion in the mixture. Therefore, in this research, different methods of dispersing carbon nanotubes in cement mortar have been investigated. They were first functionalized through covalent bonding to prevent carbon nanotub
