Context, drivers, and future potential for wood-frame multi-story construction in Europe (2015, background): “Previously, the improvements have focused on direct health impacts, such as substituting asbestos with wood fibers in cement manufacture (Coutts, 2005).”
Cementitious building materials reinforced with vegetable fibres : a review (2011, background): “The mechanical treatment of the fibres also improves the bonding between the fibre and cement [33].”
Effect of accelerated carbonation on cementitious roofing tiles reinforced with lignocellulosic fibre (2010, background): “Appropriate fibres and binders different from the traditional raw material, frequently involve higher costs and great consumption of energy in their processing [3].”
Fracture and impact properties of short discrete jute fibre-reinforced cementitious composites (2013, background): “In general, organic fibres, such as natural fibres, are considered to be less compatible with inorganic matrix, such as cement matrix, in terms of chemical bond [37].”
