Highlights Composites made of cement paste containing Posidonia-Oceanica natural fibers were studied. Thermal and mechanical properties of composites were experimentally and analytically studied. Composites thermal conductivity decreases with fibers incorporating. There is a slight increase of composites mechanical strengths. Optimum values are obtained for fiber volume fractions of 5 - 10%. Material ductility is greatly improved by fiber adding, fracture toughness is 65% higher than control cement.
Abstract This paper focuses on thermal and mechanical properties of a hardened cement paste reinforced with Posidonia-Oceanica fibers. Fibers volume fractions are varied from 0% to 20%. Thermophysical and mechanical properties are measured. Simplified models are developed to predict thermal conductivity, tensile and compressive stresses and fracture toughness variation as a function of fibers volume fraction and geometrical characteristics of samples. Results showed that the addition of Posidonia-Oceanica fibers improved the material insulating properties. In fact, a decrease of about 22% (from 0.0718 W.m-1.K-1 to 0.559 W.m-1.K-1) of thermal conductivity was found with adding 20% of fibers compared to control cement paste. Concerning mechanical properties, flexural and compressive strengths increased for fiber volume fractions in the range of 5 to 10% and then decreased for higher fiber volume fractions. It was shown through a simplified model and MEB observations that agglomeration of fibers for high volume fraction is behind this phenomenon. Moreover, a noticeable increase of toughness was observed with increasing fibers amount: for instance, an increase of about 65% (from 0.245 MPa.m1/2 to 0.404 MPa.m1/2) was observed with the introduction of 20% of fibers in the composite. Simplified analytical models are also developed to predict thermal conductivity, tensile and compressive strengths and fracture toughness. These models are validated with experimental data.
