An overview on the influence of various factors on the properties of geopolymer concrete derived from industrial by-products (2015, methodology): “The addition of different types of fibers, polymer resin, superplasticizers and nano-materials was also found to greatly enhance the properties of geopolymers, particularly the mechanical properties such as flexural strength, splitting tensile strength and also the modulus of elasticity [13,64–67].”
Fly ash-based geopolymer: clean production, properties and applications (2016, background): “The fibers for reinforcing fly ash-based geopolymer composites include steel (ST) fiber (Shaikh, 2013), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber (Nematollahi, 2015; Zhang et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2008b; Sun and Wu, 2008), sweet sorghum fiber (Chen et al., 2014), and cotton (Alomayri et al., 2014a; 2014b).”
Clean production and properties of geopolymer concrete; A review (2020, background): “The addition of 1% resin greatly improves the flexural strength of GeoPCs by 41%.”
Fiber-reinforced geopolymer composites: A review (2020, methodology): “% short cotton fiber, roller compaction was used to force the geopolymer binder to penetrate among fiber network, and a composite with tensile strength of about 32 MPa was then produced [191].”
