High Performance Natural Fiber-Nanoclay Reinforced Cement Nanocomposites

by It-Meng Low, Ahmad Hakamy, Faiz Shaikh

This brief describes a novel approach to overcome the disadvantages of hemp fibres in cementitious composites. The authors describe how the new approach includes the combination of thermal pre-treatment of nanoclay (producing calcined nanoclay) and chemical pre-treatment of fibre surfaces to improve the microstructure, mechanical, physical and thermal properties and also durability of hemp fibre reinforced cement composites. In this work, the synthesis...
