Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene Fiber-Reinforced Geopolymer Composites: A Review
The inclusion of fibers enhances the ductile nature, reduced the brittle behavior and reinforced the concrete composites. Recently, geopolymer composites (GPCs) have attracted researches due to their low CO2 footprint and low consumption of energy. Besides, such composites are good in compressive behavior, while the same performs poorly in tensile and flexural behavior. To avoid such concerns, fibers give a fair and gentle solution to the brittle nature of GPCs. Hence, the combination of these two attracts to study the nature of improved behavior of composites, i.e., fiber-reinforced geopolymer composites (FRGCs). The present paper gives an overview of the mechanical properties of GPCs with polypropylene fibers. In addition to this, the paper also elaborates on the mechanical properties based on different kinds of GPCs (aluminosilicate materials based) with polypropylene (PP) fibers. This study confirmed that using different kinds of GPCs as single or blended with PP fibers improved the mechanical characteristics of the composites with enhanced bond strength.
