Physical and Chemical Modifications of Plant Fibres for Reinforcement in Cementitious Composites

This paper highlights the physical and chemical surface modifications of plant fibre (PF) for attaining suitable properties as reinforcements in cementitious composites. Untreated PF faces insufficient adhesion between the fibres and matrix due to high levels of moisture absorption and poor wettabil...
