Mechanical properties of composites based on geopolymers reinforced with sizal

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of composites based on alkali activated materials reinforced with natural fiber-sisal, as an ecological material for selected applications in the building industry. Microscopic analysis of the created structure and examination of compression and bending strength were carried out. Strength tests show a slight increase in compression and bending strength compared to a geopolymer matrix without fibers.
