Cellulosic fiber reinforced cement-based composites: A review of recent research (2015, methodology): “The durability problem is associated with an increase in fiber fracture and a decrease in fiber pull-out due to a combination of the weakening of the fibers by alkali attack, fiber mineralization due to the migration of hydration products to lumens, and space and volume variation due to their high w”
Physical and mechanical properties of durable sisal fiber–cement composites (2010, background): “For pulp fibers–cement based composites, although volume fractions as high as 8–10% can be used, the composites still present a tension softening behavior under direct tension due to the short fiber length [3,4,6,7].”
Nanocellulose and Microcellulose Fibers for Concrete (2010, background): “Cellulose fibers obtained by using a chemical pulping process contain negligible amounts of lignin; thus, it appears they better withstand the alkali environment of the cement composite (5), although research on other low-lignin fibers has found increased susceptibility (6).”
Evaluation of mechanical, physical and thermal performance of cement-based tiles reinforced with vegetable fibers (2008, background): “fiber during wet–dry cycles attributed to its shrinkage into the cement matrix [21].”
Cellulose modified fibres in cement based composites (2009, background): “formation has been previously suggested as one of the degradation mechanisms of pulp fibre into cement matrix [32,33].”
