Mechanical Properties of Geopolymer Composites Reinforced with Natural Fibers
Open accessAbstract
Geopolymer composites have recently become a promising ecological alternative to the traditional cementitious materials. They are cost-effective, environmentally friendly and their production involves relatively small amount of energy. They have also good compressive strength, durability and thermal properties being highly resistant to flame and heat. However, these composites have relatively low tensile and flexural strength, which limits their use in many areas. This paper describes the mechanical properties of the geopolymer based on fly ash and reinforced with short natural fibers such as cotton, sisal, raffia and coconut. The study is intended to analyze the influence of addition of various natural fibers on the mechanical properties of the geopolymer. The empirical part of the research was based on the compressive strength tests, flexural strength tests and detailed microstructure examination. The results show that the appropriate addition of natural fibers can improve the mechanical properties of geopolymer composites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
