Utilization of sweet sorghum fiber to reinforce fly ash-based geopolymer (2014, background): “[36] studied the physical, mechanical, and fracture behavior of fly ashbased geopolymer reinforced with cotton fibers.”
Potentiality of utilising natural textile materials for engineering composites applications (2014, background): “The utilisation of this kind of fibres as reinforcement is minimal may be due to their major role in garment and apparel and lower mechanical properties [18–23].”
Synthesis and mechanical properties of cotton fabric reinforced geopolymer composites (2014, background): “In previous studies [15,16], the authors studied the flexural behaviour of short cotton fibre reinforced geopolymer composites and observed minimum improvement in the flexural strength over that of the unreinforced specimens due to poor dispersion of short cotton fibres in the matrix.”
Matrix design of strain hardening fiber reinforced engineered geopolymer composite (2016, background): “Properties of fly ash-based geopolymer composites reinforced with different types of fibers such as cotton fibers [45], glass fibers [46], carbon fibers [47], steel fibers [48] and basalt fibers [49] have also been reported in limited studies.”
