Cellulosic fiber reinforced cement-based composites: A review of recent research (2015, methodology): “In this sense, Toledo Filho and co-workers [40-46] have successfully prepared high-performance cement composites reinforced with aligned sisal strands with the following methodology: firstly the long fibers are cut to the size of the molds, weighed and separated into different layers, resulting in a”
Physical and mechanical properties of durable sisal fiber–cement composites (2010, background): “The CSFRC presents enhanced strength and ductility which is primarily governed by the composite action when matrix cracks and the fibers bridge them to transfer the loads, allowing a distributed microcrack system to develop [10].”
Biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers: 2000–2010 (2012, unknown): “Investigations were also carried out using cement as a matrix for sisal fiber reinforced composites focusing on their cracking micro-mechanisms [92], and the effects of accelerated carbonation on cementitious roofing [93].”
Synthesis and mechanical properties of cotton fabric reinforced geopolymer composites (2014, background): “Generally, crack deflection, debonding and bridging of fibres slows down the crack propagation in fibre reinforced composites and increase the fracture energy [32-37].”
