    This study focuses on the development of hydrophobic layer on Portland cement using graphenoid materials to enhance impermeability and hydrophobicity. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that characteristic peaks associated with concrete, such as ettringite, calcium hydroxide, and calcite, remained intact. The application of graphenoid material produced by non-thermal plasma resulted in the formation of carbonaceous structures, minimally affecting the overall cement structure. Raman spectroscopy provided detailed insights into the composition, highlighting the presence of specific and indicating boundary defects. Moreover, contact angle measurements confirmed a substantial increase in hydrophobicity for the graphene-coated cement, with an average angle of 117Ā° Ā± 4.72Ā° demonstrated graphenoid material layers deposited over structural defects, effectively waterproofing and enhancing local hydrophobicity.
