Article Synopsis
- The paper investigates how adding short basalt fibers (CBFs) to carbon textile-reinforced geomortar affects the mechanical properties of thin plates, focusing on flexural behavior through strength tests.
- The study compares hybrid composite specimens with reference specimens (without CBFs) and analyzes their performance, noting that the addition of CBFs improves flexural strength but not the failure modes during testing.
- Results show that while the CBF content affects workability and clustering during mixing, the anchoring capacity of the textile layers is crucial for overall strength in the specimens tested.
Geopolymer foam is classified as a lightweight material with high porous in its matrix which has great offer for applications requiring fire-resistant, thermal, and acoustic properties. However, the high sensitivity to humid environments can be a major barrier of geopolymer foam that limits the variety of applications of this material. Based on this drawback, two types of hydrophobic agent (Lukosil M130 and Lukofob ELX) were used as an impregnator to treat the surface of geopolymer foam samples.
