A nanoporous carbon-loaded cement composite that conducts electricity. The nanoporous carbon-loaded cement composite can be used in a variety of different fields of use, including, for example, a structural super-capacitor as an energy solution for autonomous housing and other buildings, a heated cement for pavement deicing or house basement insulation against capillary rise, a protection of concrete against freeze-thaw (FT) or alkali silica reaction (ASR) or other crystallization degradation processes, and as a conductive cable, wire or concrete trace.

A type of composite material where the matrix material and additive are held together by covalently or non-covalently bound ligands is described. A particularly useful composite material covered by the present invention is a carbon nanotube-reinforced composite material where the matrix consists of a polymer, covalently attached to a linker, where said linker is non-covalently attached to the carbon nanotube.

Methods for the preparation of such composite materials are provided.
